Where “Inst0X” is the instance name, note in the image below that there is an instance name folder too! What at first glance is a simple task just became so much more difficult, didn’t it?!īut you may notice that in the earlier values, the version of GP was listed as and yet if I look at the version from the application I get listed. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Business Solutions\Great Plains\v14.0\1033\Inst0X\SETUP In the registry path, “DEFAULT” refers to the instance of GP, so if there are multiple instances the path would look like this: The “v14.0” part of the path is dependant on the version of GP that you are running or targeting, Victoria Yudin has a good lookup for these on her site:ĭynamics GP build numbers and service packs The convention is to embed the GP version number, v14.0 in this example, into the path. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\wow6432Node\Microsoft\Business Solutions\Great Plains HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Business Solutions\Great Plains HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Business Solutions\Great Plains\1033\Default HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Business Solutions\Great Plains\1033\Default The keys found under this registry location are as follows (on my machine): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Business Solutions\Great Plains\v12.0\1033\Default\SETUP HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Business Solutions\Great Plains\v14.0\1033\DEFAULT\SETUP The format of the registry keys has evolved through the versions, to support new features (instances) and versioning. ![]() You should also not assume there is only one instance of GP! There may be multiple instances installed, see the note later on in this post about checking for instances. It is a good idea to check the machine registry for the application folder(s). ![]() Almost always it will be, but sooner or later you will find a site or development machine where it is different. You should never assume that Dynamics GP has been installed in the default location. 02 December 2016 Tim-Wappat Microsoft Dynamics GP
