Unable to connect to a CRM organization with the pluginregistration tool, all versions

While trying to connect to my orgs using the Plugin Registration Tool I kept getting the following error:

6675.Error.png

And the details are these:

I'm trying to connect to all versions of CRM 2013, 2015 and 2016 (online and on-premise) and none of the Registration tools are working, no matter what combination I use.

I went to look at the Registration tool Logs at the following directory:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Microsoft Dynamics© CRM Plug-in Registration Tool

When I opened the latest log I noticed the following on the logs:

Microsoft.Xrm.Tooling.CrmConnectControl   Information   8   9/13/2016 12:32:02 AM Created CrmConnectionManager
Microsoft.Xrm.Tooling.CrmConnectControl   Error   2   9/13/2016 12:32:02 AM Error Message: LoadConfigFromFile() - Except - fail
Source   : System.Configuration
Method   : ThrowIfErrors
Date   : 9/13/2016
Time   : 12:32:02 AM
Error   : An error occurred loading a configuration file: Access to the path 'C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\PluginRegistration\Default_PluginRegistration.exe.config' is denied. (C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\PluginRegistration\Default_PluginRegistration.exe.config)

So I wen to the following directory:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\PluginRegistration

and deleted the files that were there, these files are created by the Registration tool.

Default_PluginRegistration and

Default_PluginRegistration.exe

Once these files were deleted I started the Plugin Registration Tool again and the connection was successful for all versions.

Apparently these files that I deleted were corrupted.

Hope this helps.
