When setting up Web client with version 2018 RTM and also with CU2, there is this error:

Action start 10:22:26: InstallFinalize.

Also other nonsense error related to missing powershell 2.0 or something.. some folder are created, settings in IIS are populated, others not. At the end there is an error. Manualy adding IIS features, rebooting e reinstalling NAV and/or complete WebServer (with or without components), did not help. same error appears again and again.

Does anybody got a clue how to complete the Web Client setup ?


Thank you for your time.

I had some similar issue and I solved modiying the windows registry but I couldn't find exactly what I've done.

Make sure you have registry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\110\Web Client". Compare registry values with other pc/server with NAV2018.
If not correct, ideally repair from Web Server Components with NAV installer.

I've notice when running New-NAVWebServerInstance script fails to update "/system.webServer/security". It looks like web.config is corrupted (try to edit Authentication in IIS). Eventually script fails to save values into "c:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\Config\applicationHost.config".

Solution is to NOT use the Net Core 1.0.4 found on the setup, but 1.0.7.
