Problems compiling NAV 2018 Outlook Synch. Codeunits

greatscott001

I am getting various compile errors trying to compile my NAV2018 Demo database. Specifically Outlook Sync. Codeunits 5304..5310; they all comeback to this error:

---------------------------
Microsoft Dynamics NAV Development Environment
---------------------------
Could not load type 'Microsoft.Dynamics.NAV.OLSync.Common.XmlTextWriter.'Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.OLSync.Common, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35''.
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

I have installed the Outlook Sync components (and uninstalled everything and reinstalled) and I get the same errors. Any thoughts?

Copy the dll from the setup folder to the add ins folder

NavNab

Compile your codeunits from a machine where Office (outlook) is installed.

It's an error of missing DLL, it will be a best option if you do this either install office outlook in your machine OR compile it from the machine where it is already installed.

Copy the dll from the setup folder to the add ins folder

@NAVNAB and @RockWithNAV I have Outlook installed on the machine. It is an RDS server and has Office 365 installed.

@Juhl that worked (I copied the OLSYNC folder from the Service\AddIns folder to the RoleTailored Client\Addins folder. My question is why I needed to do that. I feel that the install should setup everything I need.

Probably you didn't install Outlook components.
Another reason for this error even though the dll's are there is that they are blocked.
Blocking can be removed by right-clicking the dll and selecting General tab and click "Unblock" button.

Or powershell (everyone seems to be so excited about these...)
