CRM - bizuser.srf

After redeploying CRM 1.2, and upgrading it, I had problems using the CRM Installation, some pages were not migrated, and the customization neither.

I patched a few things manually (yeah :( ), and saw that the bizusers.srf was no longer working with the error "Server error loadlibrary failed". Like everybody knows, it's common to CRM that there'is no trace, so I queried my best friend Google to see various steps that may fix the problem.

The first one was to verify if the ISAPI crmisapi.dll was registered (using regsrvr32) and registered as the mapped ISAPI for the extension .srf. It was.

After that, verify if the .soap extension was registered to the .NET Framework. It was too.

Then, verify the content of the .srf file so that is "{{handler "C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~2\Server\bin\CrmObjectModel.dll"/BizUser}}" and it was but it was not pointing to the good directory, it was Micros~3 and not Microso~2. That's why it was not working, I've copied the installated package from an other installation, that had other directories named Micros_ _ _ _ .

Why it's the juliet style path? Dunno. But now it's working.

After that I republished the customization, and now, everything works again.
