Microsoft Dynamics GP ( Great Plains ) get a BSOD. Anyone else using this through APP VOL ?

Hi ALL ,

We are using Wrtiables / APP VOL and UEM.

We are using Windows 10 LTSB/C 2016.

When i install Great Plains and reboot i immediately get a 'Win 10 BSOD".. the frowny face.

Just curious if anyone else out there has got this to work on APP VOL's ?

What i was going to do was just Spin up a normal VM using the 2016 LTSB ISO - Put nothing else on it - install the 1st Great Plains EXE - reboot..see if i get BSOD.

Any other Thoughts on things to try ?.. Maybe see if its a LTSB issue.?. and try Enterprise or PRO. would hate to lose all the work i have into LTSB though.

We contacted MS Dynamic GP's support.. and they basically told us to goto hell - they wont help us. ( GLAD we're paying them for that level of support :smileysilly:

thanks ,

Did you try installing on a machine (virtual that is) without the Appvolumes agent? If you get a blue screen as well you can rule out Appvolumes as the issue. If you don't get a blue screen than and it works I would suggest raising a ticket with VMWare.

Thank you .

Oddly enough i think it may have been the whole 'block/unblock' "protection Microsoft puts on files downloaded the internet.

The person that extracted the zip didn't 'unblock' it first before unzipping.  Thus we had a bunch of mixed blocked and unblocked files all over the place.

i ran a "ls -Recurse | unblock-file" and this time no Blue Screens after the install.. so who knows.. maybe a fluke.

That "protective" block seems like more trouble then its worth imo.

thanks !
