I want to create a new service-layer, but the problem is the following notification i get after clicking OK.


and no service-layer is created.

The NAV Administration Shell says the following:



Could somebody please help me out?

Hi,

In my opinion I would use "Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 Administration" tool, as it much easier.
See here for more details

As second thing I would check whether the folder
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\70\Service
exist on the machine, as these executables are used per default when new instance is created.
Additionally I would also check the folder
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\70\Service\Instances
as in this folder the configuration files for all 42 instances should be present.

I hope this helps.
