I am having a problem activating the CRM List Component for SharePoint (which is just a .wsp file). I went to Site Settings -> Web Designer Galleries -> Solutions and uploaded the solution. No problem there. Then I clicked Activate in the command bar. On the pop up window, there is an activate button, which on my first try, was clickable. I clicked it. However, the solution does not have a status of Activated.

Also, the Activate button is still enabled in the Commands bar. Deactivate is disabled. So when I click Activate to try again, this time the Activate button within the pop-up is disabled.

enter image description here

Can you offer any advice?

  • @WaqasSarwarMCSE I tried both IE and Chrome. Neither worked. I activated the solution, went on a lunch break, came back and it still had an empty status.

You cant activate this solution without starting the User Code Services.Sow hen you download the solution from the MSFT site, You will get CRM2015-SharePointList2013-ENU-amd64.exe file, once you extracted it you will get 3 files.

  1. AllowHtcExtn.ps1
  2. crmlistcomponent.wsp
  3. mscrmsharepointeula

Now what should you do inorder to work.

  1. Add the wsp into the site collection( which you already did)

  2. Run the Powershell script on the server(AllowHtcExtn.ps1), this will

    • Starts a user code service. as well as

    • Adds the .htc file extension to the list of allowed file types for the specified SharePoint 2013 Web application.

Now you will be able to activate it.

  • Okay, I ran the PowerShell console as administrator. I am now getting a new error. The starting of the User Code Service succeeds, but when it tries to enable HTC files, it says - Cannot find an SPWebApplication object with Name, Id or Url: http://internaldev.mysite.com/sites/Dynamics%20CRM.

  • I changed the url used to just http://internaldev.mysite.com and it ran without errors. I'm not sure if it actually enabled HTC files correctly, but I guess that's another topic...
