Working on a new implementation, I have everything up and running on v7.5.4 (LAN, Web, and SData) but am having some issues with the SalesLogix Mobile portal (the "new" SLX Mobile).  According to the documentation, it should simply be a matter of installing the bundle, then deploying the portal.  When I choose the v7.5.4 bundle, I see the portal contents.  It installs successfully (according to bundle installer).  When I review the portals (either via Project Explorer or Deployment Explorer, when right-clicking IIS to add a new one), it's not there.  Interestingly, as soon as I install the bundle, if I attempt to Reload Project, I get the below error.  I've tried restoring the v7.5.4 project numerous times to see if anything changes.  I also added a new, non-virtual Project Workspace.  Nothing helps.  Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

When you refer to the 7.5.4 bundle, do you mean the Mobile bundle?

I had no issues, but did the following:

- Apply the 7.5.4 Windows bundle

- Restored the 7.5 SP4 Project backup

- Reapplied my customizations

- From the SalesLogix Mobile folder within the 7.5 ISO Image, installed the SLX_Mobile v1.1.zip bundle.

Full build, no errors.

Now, based on the fact that you are having an error message regarding the length of the Path, I would suggest you ensure that:

- Copy the bundles to a short path (e.g. C:\Bundles)

- Make sure that the File VFS is also on a Short Path (e.g. C:\VFS)

Correct - the Mobile bundle.  Sorry for the confusion.  I did try a short path for the VFS but I did not try a short path for the bundle.  I assumed that if it installed correctly, it copied the mobile contents to where the rest of the web files are.  Maybe not!  I'll try a short bundle path and see if that helps.  Thanks for the prompt response!

Yep, the path to the bundle was too long.  I was under the impression it had installed correctly earlier but having seen the actual installation routine now, it's clear that it didn't do anything at all earlier.  Thanks again for the help!

Another way is Long Path Tool, it helps in such issues.
