It is recommended to read the release notes prior to installation of Microsoft Dynamics AX2012 Cumulative Update 3 (6.0.1108.670).

Do not try to update Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack 1 Demo Virtual Machine (VM) with CU3
It won’t work.
The documentation for CU3 states the following (which I regret not reading before going ahead with the update):
Updating Dynamics AX 2012 Cumulative Update 3 on Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack 1 Virtual Machine (VM) 6.0.1100.0 does not update the system with Dynamics AX 2012 Cumulative Update 3 Feature Pack Patch (FPP) model
Updating DynamicsAX 2012 Cumulative Update 3 on DynamicsAX 2012 Feature Pack 1 Virtual Machine (VM) 6.0.1100.0 may result in the termination of Application Object Server (AOS) during compilation, done as a part of upgrade
There’s no information whether this will be fixed or not, or if there’ll soon become a new image available.
thanks for update
how much time does it take to install the update successfully?
