I'm using Dynamics through an Azure Virtual Desktop - Tax Updates cause 0x80040154 error

Pyle, Nate 0

I receive the following error when trying to update the US Payroll Tax through Dynamics.

I've updated all system drivers, only the COM2 port actually needed an update, but I still get this error, and I've run Windows update (utilizing Windows 11) This is, as far as I know, specific to windows and not related to Dynamics itself, but I'm not sure how to correct this issue.

Continuing through process eventually fails down the way with same error popping up, so it can't be bypassed.

So this was just a User Account Control issue, permissions were too high for a user and I needed to run application as administrator to bypass this issue. Then found out that by adjusting UAC, it affected whether admin permissions were required.

Answer 1

Hi Pyle, Nate,

As per query asked "The parameter is incorrect" error.
Right-click the application and select ‘Run as administrator’ to see if it helps.

Ensure your Windows regional settings match what is expected by Dynamics GP.

Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features, find Microsoft Dynamics GP, and try the ‘Repair’ option.

Even though you mentioned updating, double-check if there are any pending updates specifically for Dynamics GP 2018.
