Nav 2017 Install without powershell

SteveKnott

Hi,

Anyone have an idea if possible @ all to install NAV 2017 ( without using the wizard perhaps ) ?

If Windows Powershell 3.0 is not available? I know it technically isn't supported. I can install Powershell 3.0 - but the PowerShell install breaks Exchange and Sharepoint - SBS 2011 ...

Any ideas or am I out of luck ?

To install NST server try to copy the Service folder into the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\100\ then use sc command line utility to create a service.

sc create MicrosoftDynamicsNAVServer$DynamicsNAV100 binpath= "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\100\Service\Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Server.exe $DynamicsNAV100" start= Auto DisplayName= "Dynamics NAV 2017 NST Server [DynamicsNAV100]" type= share depend= NetTcpPortSharing/HTTP obj= "NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService"

You would have to run cmd.exe in elevated mode to be able to create a service using sc.exe

Then you would need to configure manually NST server arameters parameters in CustomSettings.xml

I cannot guarantee that it will work as installer registers lots of objects in the system. If it does not start try adding C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\100\Service\ folder to system path.

Installing without Powershell is generally bad idea. Even if it works you will not have any management console for it. There may be problems with file access through C/AL Code. You would be better of setting up new separate server for your NST

Are you talking about installing the server-application ? Then no - i don't think theres a way around the wizard for that.

For Clients, you may look into ClickOnce - or just use the WebClient if you're comfortable with it.

Thanks for replies... was talking about the Service tier....

Actually didn't think about SC CREATE... will give it a bash... we are procuring a second server though now... since this wont be a long term solution without powershell.

Thanks,
