Issue/Introduction

When installing client tool on 64 bit system, you may encounter a situation where the SOAP connector does not work and gives an error:

"Failed to initialize soap connector"

Cause

It should run against 64 bit .net framework

Environment

Resolution

Run the 64 bit regasm.exe:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\Path_To_File\RegASM.exe "c:\FULL_PATH_TO_FILE\SageSOAP.dll"
