Problems compiling NAV 2018 Outlook Synch. Codeunits

greatscott001 · 2017-12-05

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

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.

@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...)
