Dynamics AX 2012 R2 Enterprise Search on SharePoint Foundation 2013 - sharepoint-2013

Did anyone got those two working together yet?
I got AX 2012 Enterprise Portal (EP) and Help Server working with SharePoint (SP) Foundation 2013, but I cant get AX Enterprise Search (ES) to work.
When I tried to install ES, asked me to install SharePoint Search first.
SharePoint Search is not installed with Microsoft SharePoint
Foundation. To install Microsoft Search Server Express, go to
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=180385
However, as far as I know, Microsoft Search Server Express is included in SP 2013 by default.
So if it's already there, what path to the Search Server URL should I use instead of SP's 2010 default one (http://server_name/sites/DynamicsAXClientSearch/_vti_bin/search.asmx)? If I just use the root URL of EP I get this error:
The service returned the following error: The HTTP request is
unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'Ntlm'. The
authentication header received from the server was 'NTLM'.
According to Microsoft, I should be able to use Search functionality in AX 2012 with SP 2013.
All aspects of crawling, indexing, and retrieving Microsoft Dynamics
AX data and metadata for Search are performed by one of the following
products:
Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 or Microsoft SharePoint Server
2010 Microsoft Search Server 2010 or Microsoft Search Server Express
2010 Microsoft FAST Search Server 2010 Microsoft SharePoint
Foundation 2013 or Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013
One of these products must be available in the computing environment
before you can install Enterprise Search.
But by following their installation documentation I still bump to the requirement of having Microsoft Search Server 2010 Express installed on my system, however its installation fails saying "Microsoft Search Server 2010 Express encountered an error during installation". UPDATE: For some reason installation worked on 3rd attempt and... seems like it ruined installation of SP 2013!
I feel like I'm really going in circles here.
SOLUTION: Got both versions (2010/2013) of SharePoint working with Dynamics AX 2012 R2. Please have a look at my AX notes if you are facing same issues.

You need to install SharePoint search as it says ,
It's not included in the standard SharePoint install , it's even a separte Download.

Based on the software requirement from Microsoft, Windows Server 2016 not supported SharePoint 2013 installation:

For Windows Server 2019, no official document specified, but I think still not supported for SharePoint 2013.

Hosting web service on IIS 7.5 which consumes 64 bit third party DLL throws error Could not load file or assembly or one of its dependencies

we are working on windows 2008 R2.
we have a web service(frame work 4.0) which consumes 64 bit third party DLL. when we run web service from VS 2013 or from IIS 7.5 we got a error saying “Could not load file or assembly or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.”
with the help of stackoverflow we have set the below option in VS 2013
Tools | Options | Projects and Solutions | Web Projects | Use the 64
bit version of IIS Express
and published the same from VS 2013 on IIS 7.5 and it is working :)
now we have published same web service on different machine where Visual studio 2013 is not there and we are getting the same problem again.
“Could not load file or assembly or one of its dependencies. An
attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.”
how to make this web service working?
After doing lot of googling i have come across this link debugging-assembly-loading-failures
so with ref to above link if i have fuslogvw.exe, it's easy to find where the problem is.
So to get fuslogvw.exe i have installed SDK for .net framework
Now i got fuslogvw.exe and i configured it as mentioned in debugging-assembly-loading-failures and i browse my web service from IIS Manager and i am expecting errors so i am checking Fusion log and i found no errors there. Confused!!!
now i came back to browser and i found my web service is working :)
So installing SDK fixed the problem.
