SYMPTOMS
You receive the following error message when you register Microsoft Dynamics CRM by using the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Registration wizard:

The wizard requires an Internet connection to complete registration. Activate your Internet connection if it is disabled. If you do not have an Internet connection, contact Microsoft Business Solutions Support at 1-800-456-0025 to complete registration.

This error message is as follows:

15:21:42| Error| Invalid parameter: name StateProvince, value &quot;&quot; Parameter name: StateProvince



Cause 1
This problem occurs because of incorrect information in the Registration wizard. A valid state or province is not provided in the State/province field on the Partner Company Information page. See &quot;Resolution 1.&quot;

Cause 2
This problem occurs because Microsoft .NET 1.1 is not able to successfully autodetect proxies. This behavior occurs if a valid proxy client is not installed or if the settings in Microsoft Internet Explorer do not indicate a valid proxy server. See &quot;Resolution 2.&quot;

 * 1) On the error page in the Registration wizard, click Back three times.
 * 2) In the State/province field on the Partner Company Information page, type the name of a valid state or province.
 * 3) Resubmit the registration. To do this, click Next on the remaining pages of the Registration wizard.
