Hi folks,
I just want to warn about an odd case regarding deployment of CRM 2015 in task sequence.
We’ve upgraded to CRM 2015 and deployed CRM 2015 Outlook client with update 0,1 and English MUI Update 0,1.
Added the CMR installation to our Task Sequence for new computers.
When we now deploying new computers, the task sequence stops after the CRM 2015 installation.
After a lot of investigation we see that it’s a CRM 2015 prerequisite that breaks the CM client and the task sequence fails.
CM Client version 5.00.8239.1203.8239 contains prerequisite Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable version 12.0.21005.1 (X64).
CRM 2015 Client contains prerequisite Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable version 12.0.30501.0 (X86).
When installing MVC++ from CRM the CM agent stops working.
Our solution to this odd problem was to Update the CM client installation with Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable version 13.0.30501.0 (X64).
I never thought that a X86 installation of VC++ would breaks an X64 installation of VC++ and the CM agent.
