Install the Office Add-ins
Use this procedure to install the files for the Office Add-ins on a
client computer. If you install other Microsoft Dynamics AX components
at the same time, the installation screens vary, depending on the
components that you are installing.
-
Start Microsoft Dynamics AX Setup. Under Install, select Microsoft Dynamics AX components.
-
Advance through the first wizard pages.
-
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.
-
If you’re installing AX 2012 R3, in the Select an installation option page, click Microsoft Dynamics AX.
-
On the Select installation type page, click Custom installation, and then click Next.
-
On the Select components page, select Office Add-ins. When you select Office Add-ins, Remote Desktop Services integration is selected automatically. Click Next.
-
On the Prerequisite validation results page, resolve any errors. For more information about how to resolve prerequisite errors, see Check prerequisites. When no errors remain, click Next.
-
If you are installing the Office Add-ins on a 64-bit operating system, the Select a file location
page is displayed. Select the location where you want 32-bit versions
of Microsoft Dynamics AX files to be installed, and then click Next.
-
On the Specify a location for configuration settings
page, specify whether you want the Office Add-ins to access
configuration information from the registry on the local computer or
from a shared configuration file. If you want to use a shared
configuration file, you must enter the network location of the file.
If you use a shared configuration file, client configuration settings are not stored locally, and the Microsoft Dynamics AX Configuration utility is not installed on the client computer.
For more information about how to use a shared configuration file, see Configure clients to use a shared configuration.
Click Next.
-
On the Connect to an AOS instance page,
enter the name of the computer that runs the Application Object Server
(AOS) instance that you want to connect to. You can optionally specify
the name of the AOS instance, the TCP/IP port number, and the WSDL port
for services.
If you do not know the name of the AOS instance or the port information, contact the Microsoft Dynamics AX administrator.
Click Next.
Note If you entered AOS connection information for other Microsoft Dynamics AX components that are installed on this computer, this page is not displayed. Subsequent installations on the same computer reuse the existing AOS connection.
-
On the Prerequisite validation results page, resolve any errors. When no errors remain, click Next.
-
On the Ready to install page, click Install.
-
After the installation is completed, click Finish to close the wizard.
- The first time that you open Excel or Word on a computer where the Office Add-ins component was installed, you are prompted to install the add-in. Click Install to continue with the installation.
