Analysis Cubes for Microsoft Dynamics GP Configuration Error

Microsoft Dynamics GPAs part of my hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016 R2 series I installed and configured the Analysis Cubes for Microsoft Dynamics GP.

This is the first time I have done this (I tend to hand reporting to other members of my team) and to do it I had to install a couple of extra SQL Server components; namely SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) and SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS).

This all happened quite smoothly, but when I got to the Analysis Cubes configuration step I encountered a Fatal Error:

Fatal Error - Error encountered --> details written to 'C:\Users\iang\AppData\Local\temp\2\ACConfigurationWizard.log'

Fatal Error

Error encountered --> details written to 'C:\Users\iang\AppData\Local\temp\2\ACConfigurationWizard.log'

I navigated to the specified log file and had a look:
