I recently tried to install the CRM client with my install of office 2010 (on Windows 7) and got an error and couldn’t continue.

“Setup failed to determine whether a supported version of Microsoft Outlook is installed”

The Fix:

Right click the install window on the taskbar and click “Close Window” - It will give you a choice “Do you really want to cancel the setup” then click “Yes”

It should begin installing:

It should complete, now open outlook and configure CRM for outlook (CRM URL, Organisation etc..)

Install Client Update Rollup 7 and 11 or else the CRM toolbar will be in a new “Tab” in Outlook 2010 called “Addins”:

It should turn out like this:

MSCRM-Admin CRM 4.0, CRM 4.0 Client crm 4 client "outlook 2010" "unsupported" "windows 7" u

A very common question is: “How do i run a plugin/custom web application against a IFD deployment?”

You should use the below code:

CrmDiscoveryService disco = new CrmDiscoveryService();
disco.Url = "https://YOUR.IFD.URL/MSCRMServices/2007/SPLA/CrmDiscoveryService.asmx";
RetrieveOrganizationsRequest orgRequest = new RetrieveOrganizationsRequest();
orgRequest.UserId = @"username";
orgRequest.Password = "password";
RetrieveOrganizationsResponse orgResponse = (RetrieveOrganizationsResponse)disco.Execute(orgRequest);
OrganizationDetail orgInfo = null;
foreach (OrganizationDetail orgdetail in orgResponse.OrganizationDetails)
{
   if (orgdetail.OrganizationName.Equals("OrgName"))
   {
   orgInfo = orgdetail;
   break;
   }
}
if (orgInfo == null)
{
   throw new Exception("The specified organization was not found.");
}
RetrieveCrmTicketRequest ticketRequest = new RetrieveCrmTicketRequest();
ticketRequest.OrganizationName = orgInfo.OrganizationName;
ticketRequest.UserId = @"username";
ticketRequest.Password = "password";
RetrieveCrmTicketResponse ticketResponse = (RetrieveCrmTicketResponse)disco.Execute(ticketRequest);

CrmAuthenticationToken sdktoken = new CrmAuthenticationToken();
sdktoken.AuthenticationType = 2;
sdktoken.OrganizationName = orgInfo.OrganizationName;
sdktoken.CrmTicket = ticketResponse.CrmTicket;
CrmService service = new CrmService();
service.CrmAuthenticationTokenValue = sdktoken;
service.Url = orgInfo.CrmServiceUrl;

Found this PDF on how to backup and restore your SharePoint (SPWeb) website using SharePoint Designer: backup-restore-share-point-2007.pdf

Kudos to the Creator of the PDF.

here we go, just some simple upload code that uploads documents into a document library.

It also checks if the same file exist in the destination library before upload.

SPSite site = new SPSite("http://mysharepointsite");
SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true; // i always add this in to prevent security errors
Stream fStream = postedFile.InputStream;
byte[] contents = new byte[fStream.Length];
fStream.Read(contents, 0, (int)fStream.Length);
fStream.Close();
string newFilename = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(postedFile.FileName);
SPFile fileExist = web.GetFile(destFolder + "/" + newFilename);

if (fileExist.Exists)
{
    Response.Write("<font color='red'>Error: A file exist with the same filename. Please Rename this File.</font><br />");
}
else
{
   web.GetFolder(destFolder).Files.Add(newFilename, contents);
   completed.Text = "<br /><font color='green'>Successfully uploaded '" + filename + "' to: " + destFolder + " </font><br /><br /><br />";
}

Well, update roll up 9 is out (how the hell did we get to 9??)! Jeez with all these update packs there needs to be a full job to implement all these updates on servers and implement the necessary changes the update pack doesn’t.
