Integration Manager – Cannot Create ActiveX Component

Microsoft Dynamics GPI’ve probably said this before, but Integration Manager can be both very useful and also most infuriating, because when you get an error the error message usually isn’t useful.

However, my most recent problem with Integration Manager did actually produce a useful error message:

Integration Manager - Integration 'Invoices' is not ready to run due to the following problems: The destination could not be initialized due to the following problem: Cannot create ActiveX component.

Integration 'Invoices' is not ready to run due to the following problems:
- The destination could not be initialized due to the following problem:

Cannot create ActiveX component.

I did a search and found a most useful KB article from Microsoft which detailed the problem (Microsoft Dynamics GP hadn’t been written to the registry correctly) and also the solution.

I read the whole article and decided to try a shortcut of starting with step 3 of re-registering the Dynamics.exe. To do this open a Run or Command Prompt and type the following (this particular problem was encountered with Microsoft Dynamics GP 20103 R2):

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics\GP2013\Dynamics.exe" /regsrver

When I retried the integration, it ran through without further problems.
