xRMLinq

Just started using XRMLinq to help simplify my code for a major import.  So far it's a pretty good tool, although their web site leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to documentation.  Luckily, they do respond to e-mail requests for support, usually with a 12 hour or so turnaround.

"This Path is not of a legal form" Installing Data Migration Manger on x64

Here is how you make the path legal to install Data Migration Manager.

• Start > Run
• Type "regedit.exe" (without quotes)
• Navigate to key - [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\C5D06E9536719E94DB7D0491EB205E22\InstallProperties

Set value to:  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM

It is blank by default on the CRM server.

I was having this problem with a workflow, and apparently Update Rollup 12 fixes it.  Woo hoo!
