CRM 4.0 – Installing without Internet Access

CRM 4.0 - Installing without Internet Access

Philip Richardson has written how to do the installation of CRM 4.0 without internet access. You can find that blog at http://www.philiprichardson.org/blog/post/Installing-CRM-40-without-Internet-Access.aspx.

It took me sometime to make the folder structure as I had downlaoded the CRM software from Microsoft Website and I renamed for my convienence. But I changed the structure of the folders exactly as told in the blog. It worked like a charm

I also came across blog of David jennaway who wrote additional points on the same topic: http://mscrmuk.blogspot.com/2007/12/crm-40-installation-with-no-internet.html

This 2 blogs will definetly solve your problems.

Thanks

I can’t for the life of me get the install to see the vcredist_x86.exe file. I am trying to install the client on Windows XP and I have put the folder structure correctly I think. All the other pre-reqs are found and install from the local source, but not the Visual C++. I’m install from C:\Microsoft CRM 4.0 Client\Client\setupclient.exe. Based on that folder structure, where should the vcredist_x86.exe file be located?

your folder structure should look like this:

D:\ MSCRM << Root Folder
(Below Folder comes under MSCRM Folder)

\Redist\i386\VCRedist\vcredist_x86.exe
\Redist\i386\VCRedist\vcredist_x64.exe
\Redist\amd64\VCRedist\vcredist_x64.exe
\Server\i386\SetupServer.exe
\Server\amd64\SetupServer.exe
\Client\SetupClient.exe

Or in your case

C:\Microsoft CRM 4.0 Client\Client\setupclient.exe. It should be like this

C:\Microsoft CRM 4.0 Client\Redist\i386\VCRedist\vcredist_x86.exe

Hope it works!

What about the SQL Express that is required by offline client. VC++ redist issue can be solved. But how to do the same for SQL Express?
