Hi,

I am facing some below strange error while importing a solution (for the first time) in Dynamics 365 online environment. Error message is not clear and not getting download log file option to identify the problem. But there is a 'Help me resolve this issue' link which takes to a support page: "Error code 80040203" (Invalid Argument) error occurs when attempting to import a solution into Dynamics 365 (microsoft.com), but still the error persists even after following the solution provided.

Any help to resolve this error is appreciated. Thanks

RE: Invalid Argument error while importing solution. Error code 80040203

Microsoft is aware of this issue and is working on a change to remove this relationship after a delete then update.

Solution for Error code 80040203:

If you need to import the solution and can't recreate the solution package, then remove the relationship from the solution.

- Unzip the solution.
- Edit the customization.xml.
- Search for the relationship mentioned in the error: bpf_<entity>_<publisher>_<BPF Name>
- Delete all the XML for the EntityRelationship:
- Save the file.
- Zip the entire directory.
- Import the solution again.

Remove the relationship from the source and recreate your solution:

- Open the source organization.
- Select Settings / Customizations / Customize the System
- Select the Entity in the relationship:
- Expand 1:N Relationships.
- Locate the relationship:
- Select and delete the relationship.
- Publish All Customizations.
- Export the solution and import it into the target.

Hope this helps,
Regards,
Jimmywick

Try switching to classic and import your solution in the classic interface - I find that the error messages there are more helpful when my import fails. If that doesn't help, I think you'll need to provide more info on what is in your solution for anyone to be able to help you.
