You now need to run the downloaded ​Web Services for Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release x64 and x86 Environments – patch only 18.2.1013 which will apply the October 2019 patch to the installed web services. This installer is a silent one so won’t appear to do much, but will apply the patch file.

Once this is finished, we can configure the Web Services for use, which I will cover in the next post.
