Managed Solution updating

Posted on by Michael.Matsiy 55

Hi all!

I've made refactoring for my plugin assembly in my solution. I've created a base plugin and merged some classes into one with a different name, so now it's totally changed assembly with the same name and Id.

The current task is to update my managed solution into the production environment with these changes. 

I need to remove old plugins/steps/images, but even if I try to update the solution with disabled steps it throws me an error like "Plug-in assembly does not contain the required types or assembly content cannot be updated."

I've tried to choose Override option while importing and also I've tried an approach with the Holding solution, but still no luck. 

Dynamics CRM v.8.2

Do you have any ideas related to this case?

    As you have managed solution so you have to delete all the steps and the plugins  as suggested above  . Once you delete all the steps and plugins assembly  you can easily register your updated plugins and only you have to  recreate steps again.

    Its better to keep screenshot of the old steps to recreate freshly with the updated plugins .

    Good Luck.

    Hi

    open the solution which contains the plugin steps and messages and find the steps under sdk message processing steps, select and delete one by one (make sure you have backup before deleting)

    After that go to Plugin Assemblies to delete the plugin

    Hi,

    We cannot override plugin assembly and steps when there are mismatches in dll & snk files.

    suggest you to delete the all old reference from the target CRM(where you are trying to instal)and then install your new solution with updates assembly and messages.
