After installing Rollup 16/17, i started getting Syntax Error (it happens on RU 12+)

I upgraded my crm 2011 org from Rollup 5 to 16/17. After installing rollup when I try to refresh page or close page, I started getting following error

When I press F12 to see the error in IE developer tool it shows

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "" ""><HTML>...

After doing bit of search I found out that this has started happening after Rollup 12+

Resolution:
Make sure all the javscript libraries are starting with the $webresource: prefix

After installing RU 16 and then 17, one of the working webservice stopped working

We have a webservice which was built using 32 bit dll and is used within crm, for that purpose we created a new application pool to run for .net 4 but to allow 32 bit application to run.
This was working fine, however

After RU 16 and 17 were installed, I started getting error

"HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error

Calling LoadLibraryEx on ISAPI filter "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\Server\bin\DefaultAddonFilter.dll" failed
...
Handler: ExtensionlessUrl-Integrated-4.0

"

Resolution:

1. Copy the "Microsoft.Crm.Core.dll" to the bin folder of webservice
2. Go to the app pool and click on "Advance Settings..." specified in the Actions properties area and set the 'Enable 32-Bit Applications" to False.
3. Add the node <clear/> in the configuration/system.web/httpModules node
<httpModules>
   <clear />
</httpModules>
4. Add the following section in the configuration/system.webServer/handlers node as below
<handlers>

<clear/>

<add name="svc-Integrated-4.0" path="*.svc" verb="*" type="System.ServiceModel.Activation.ServiceHttpHandlerFactory, System.ServiceModel.Activation, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" resourceType="Unspecified" preCondition="integratedMode" />

<add name="svc-Integrated" path="*.svc" verb="*" type="System.ServiceModel.Activation.HttpHandler, System.ServiceModel, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" resourceType="Unspecified" preCondition="integratedMode" />

</handlers>

selectSingleNode error after crm 2011 rollup 16 installed

The processes which were working before start giving 'selectSingleNode' error, after doing little bit of search I found out this is happening due to from rollup 12 and plus, CRM 2011 gives multibrowser support. And the javascript file referenced had i.e. specific calls. http://community.dynamics.com/crm/b/gonzaloruiz/archive/2013/02/13/javascript-xml-processing-dom-and-crm-2011-ur12.aspx
