title: Need help in installing Microsoft GP 2010 on Windows Server 2012 VM
body: <p>EDIT: The below installation activity has been tried out in elevated mode (Run as Administrator).</p>
  
  <p>When I am trying to install Microsoft GP 2010 on Windows Server 2012 VM, I am getting the following error</p>
  
  <pre><code>Component Dexterity Shared Components 11.0 has failed to install with the following error message:
  "Fatal error during installation. "
  
  The following components were successfully installed:
  - .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
  
  The following components were not installed:
  - Microsoft Application Error Reporting 11.0
  - Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0
  - Open XML SDK 2.0 for Microsoft Office
  
  The following components failed to install:
  - Dexterity Shared Components 11.0
  
  See the setup log file located at 'C:\Users\IRMSAD~1\AppData\Local\Temp\VSD666C.tmp\install.log' for more information.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have read this <a href="http://blog.technotesdesk.com/microsoft-dynamics-gp-10-0-%E2%80%94-dexterity-shared-component-10-%E2%80%94-error/" rel="nofollow">article</a>.</p>
  
  <p>After reading the article I am not finding the respective frameworks to uninstall as my OS is Win-Server-2012 (wherein the .NET-framework comes in as "bundled"). So the above link, although it suggests a solution, does NOT seem to be helping me. </p>
  
  <p>If any of you guys had a solution for it or at least a direction-pointer, that would be helpful. </p>
