When we encountered the error below after a recent SalesLogix Web installation we resolved it by using the information in the error to identify what .dll was failing. The critical clue was the CLSID key which can be found in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT section of the registry. Once we located that key we were able to look at the corresponding .dll under the InprocServer32 default Data. We registered this .dll, in our case the GroupTranslator.dll, and resolved the error. We may have been able to accomplish the same thing by rebooting the web server but as we all know that is not always an option.
Server Error in ‘/SlxClient’ Application.
