Install Office Add-Ins

Use this procedure to install the Office Add-ins files on a client computer. If you
are installing other Microsoft Dynamics AX components at the same time, the
installation screens will vary based on the components you are installing.
1. Start Microsoft Dynamics AX Setup. Under Install, select Microsoft
Dynamics AX components.

2. Step through the initial wizard pages.

3. If the Setup Support files have not yet been installed on this
computer, the Select a file location page is displayed. The Setup
Support files are required for installation. Provide a file location or
accept the default location and then click Next. On the Ready to
install page, click Install.

4. On the Select installation type page, click Custom installation, and
then click Next.

5. On the Select components page, select Office add-ins and clickNext.

6. On the Select a file location page, click Next to accept the default
location, or click Browse to designate a different location.

7. On the Client configuration options page, specify whether the
client will use individual configuration settings or a shared
configuration file.

a. If this client should use a shared configuration file, enter the
network location for the shared file. If you choose this option,
client configuration settings will not be stored locally, and the
Microsoft Dynamics AX Configuration utility will not be
installed on the client computer.

b. If a configuration file does not exist at the network location that
you specify, a new configuration file will be created.

NOTE: A configuration file includes the location of the client application. If the
Microsoft Dynamics AX client location differs between the computer generating
the configuration file and the computer using the configuration file, the client
using the file will not start.

It is recommended that you create multiple configuration files if the client is
installed in different locations on different computers. For example, the default
location of the Microsoft Dynamics AX client application differs between 32-bit
and 64-bit operating systems. On a 64-bit system, the default path is \Program
files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics AX. On a 32-bit system, the default path is
\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics AX. If you have clients on both operating
systems, it is recommended that you create a configuration file for each version
of the operating system, and then specify the appropriate file when installing
clients.

8. Click Next.

9. On the Connect to an AOS instance page, enter the name of the
computer running the AOS instance to connect to. You can
optionally specify the AOS instance name, the TCP/IP port number,
and the services WSDL port. If you do not know the name of the
Application Object Server or the port information, contact the
Microsoft Dynamics AX administrator. Click Next.

10. On the Prerequisite validation results page, resolve any errors.
When there are no errors, click Next.

11. On the Ready to install page, click Install.

12. The first time you open Excel or Word on a computer where theOffice Add-ins component has been installed, you will be prompted
to install the add-in. Click Install to proceed with the installation
