Winthrop Development Consultants is pleased to announce Build 20 of Visual Studio Integration Toolkit (VSIT) for Microsoft Dynamics GP was released on 20-Jun-2025.
This build includes enhancements to the table update processing and general maintenance fixes.
Today, we have an interesting support case where the installer for a Winthrop Development Consultants product failed to complete with the following error message:
Update now to the latest builds for your version of Microsoft Dynamics GP.
This article provides advanced warning that old builds of Winthrop Development Consultants products for versions GP 18.0. or later will be discontinued at the end of August 2025 and will no longer be able to renew their subscriptions.
It is vital the customers update their installs of our products to get all the new fixes, features and enhancements that their annual subscription entitles them to.
Winthrop Development Consultants is a proud member of the Microsoft Dynamics GP community and we continue to invest in the community we love by being a sponsor at three upcoming conferences, the first starting in a week’s time:
In preparation for these conferences, we have used the great video creation tool, Renderforest, to update our product introduction videos for our latest builds and create a video for the amazing new GP Power Tools – Form Control module.
The latest and greatest version of Microsoft Dynamics GP has been released, and it contains many new features and bug fixes.
Winthrop Development Consultants has already updated its products for this Microsoft Dynamics GP 18.7 – October 2024 release. They are now built against the final build and so are no longer beta builds.

Good News for the Microsoft Dynamics GP Community.
This morning (Perth Time) I had an email from Terry Heley from Microsoft with a link to a pre-release (ISV Drop) of the upcoming Microsoft Dynamics GP version 18.7 (October 2024) release. This download is provided to the ISV community to help them prepare for the final code when it is released.
Here is a quick project that can make using Microsoft Dynamics GP much easier for your users. We are going to use GP Power Tools along with the free menu module of Visual Studio Integration Toolkit to add windows to the application level navigation menus.
For our example we are going to use the Professional Services Tools Library and add a menu to the main window of the product as well as the Receivables Transaction Unapply window.
[Edit] We are also going to add the Item Reconciler window as that requires some different techniques.
A couple of weeks ago, we had an unusual support case: upgrading two of our products, Visual Studio Integration Toolkit and GP Power Tools, was failing with a SQL Server error I had never seen before.
The errors only occurred on the customer’s live system, but the install worked fine on their development system. Eventually the cause for the issue was identified.
Today, my good friend Beat Bucher, had the same error and I was able to tell him the cause straight away. Read on for a full explanation.
We are currently seeing an increase in customer sites reporting the Registration Expired or Failed dialog when launching Microsoft Dynamics GP.
This dialog is to notify users that a Winthrop Development Consultants product is no longer registered and action needs to be taken by the system administrator to fix the subscription and restore the product’s functionality.
Winthrop Development Consultants is pleased to announce Build 19 of Visual Studio Integration Toolkit (VSIT) for Microsoft Dynamics GP was released on 19-Jan-2024.
This build includes enhancements to the new Custom Forms module along with improvements to the installer systems. The User Guide Manual has now grown to 95 pages, plus their code examples and sample project also provided.
