Issues with SDK2016 / 2015 Plugin Registration Tool

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Pete_N 1,695

I have been using the plugin registration tool quite happily for ages, however when trying to use it today I am getting the error below. Looking through the net, I have tried several 'suggestions' but to no effect.

I have updated the CRM server with all the latest patches as well as my own machine. I have tried using the plugin tool from the 2015SDK but get the same result

has anyone else experienced this or have any suggestions?

    Does this happen when connecting to other orgs - or is it just one? Are you trying to connect to a Dynamics 365 instance - if so, make sure you're using the most recent SDK version of the plugin registration tool.
