This is very common error which we get while deploying CRM 2011 plugins solution using Developer Tool Kit. I have experienced this only where source is kept in TFS. I have used SVN in past and have not had any issues. But once we migrated to TFS we started getting this error. 

I have seen many people over the internet and new starters in my team asking about the same error. So I thought about writing this blog.

Error: Error registering plugins and/or workflows. The resource string "ErrorSerializingRegFile" for the "RegisterPlugin" task cannot be found. Confirm that the resource name "ErrorSerializingRegFile" is correctly spelled, and the resource exists in the task's assembly.



Cause: When we deploy the solution using developer tool kit in Visual studio, it tries to update RegisterFile.crmregister. Because its checked in to TFS, system fails to check-out and update the file. 

Solution: Checkout the RegisterFile.crmregister file manually and deploy again.


I hope it will help many people.

Happy Coding.
