Install the .NET Business Connector

The .NET Business Connector for Microsoft Dynamics AX enables applications to interact with Application Object Server (AOS) instances by providing a set of managed classes that facilitate access to X++ functionality.

The .NET Business Connector is installed automatically for Microsoft Dynamics AX components that require it. The .NET Business Connector can also be installed as a stand-alone component and used to develop third-party applications that integrate with Microsoft Dynamics AX.

You must install the .NET Business Connector on each computer where the integrated application is installed. The application will then communicate with the AOS through the .NET Business Connector instance on the local computer.

Use this procedure to install the .NET Business Connector. If you are installing other Microsoft Dynamics AX components at the same time, the installation screens vary based on the components that you are installing.

To install the .NET Business Connector:

Step 1: Run Microsoft Dynamics AX installer and follow the wizard.

Step 2: On the 'Select installation type' page click 'Custom installation' and then click 'Next'.

Step 3: On the 'Select components' page select '.NET Business Connector' and click 'Next':
