First experience in develop Enterprise portal for AX 2009

Create new website base on Dynamics AX Enterprise Portal template causes error:

"Unable to connect to Microsoft Dynamics AX. The Dynamics AX Enterprise Portal Tools are not available".


Solutions:

+ Make sure your AOS is running.
+ Make sure your BC connection is configured correctly.
+ If you have AX 4.0 and AX 5.0 in the same box, check the PATH variable to make sure that the path to AX 5.0 bin folder is before AX 4.0.
