I hope someone can help, this is my first question ever because I've never been as stuck as this before!
I have an on premise QA server running Microsoft Dynamics 2015 CRM running on Windows Server 2012. It contains approx 30 customisation solutions from various previous sources unknown to me.
After installing ADX Studio Solutions, the system becomes modified and overwrites some/all of the previous customisations back to defaults. The symptom is that Entity names and fields etc are reverted back.
So it is required to re-install a previous backup of the solution after installing the ADX parts. This solution is exported as a "Default Solution" prior to installing ADX Studio in a file called "Default_1_0.zip".
The problem is that the import fails when trying to import the backed up solution after having installed an ADX Studio solution.
The backup comes from the same server Dynamics instance, it's not being moved anywhere.
The process is:
This is a screenshot of the import screen showing the failure:
The log file xml has a "Solution" and a "Components" section. The Solution Section looks like this:
Solution Name Default Display Name Default Solution Description Solution that contains all components in the system Version 1.0 Package Type Unmanaged Publisher Name DefaultPublisherCLIENT Display Name Default Publisher for CLIENT Description Default publisher for this organization Email Website City Country/Region Street 1 Street 2 ZIP/Postal Code State/Province Phone Status Failure Message An error has occurred. Try this action again. If the problem continues, check the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Community for solutions or contact your organization's Microsoft Dynamics CRM Administrator. Finally, you can contact Microsoft Support. Progress [%] 99.96 Duration [s] 730.9
As you can see, it gets to 99.96%.
The "Components" section contains one error on line 2781 that looks like this
Root Components Insertion Failure 0x8004F018 This item is not a valid solution component. For more information about solution components, see the Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK documentation. Dependencies Calculation Unprocessed
All previous rows are logged as "Processed".
I am in no way a Dynamics or ADX Studio expert so I'm trying to find out if anybody has any answers which may be relevant.
Some more details:
Obviously I've tried searching for answers and also tried using the crmdiagtool2011 tool, which has not yet proved useful to me.
I've also tried implementing this solution: social.microsoft.com/.../crm-2011-import-failure
But the error code and message is slightly different and this solution did not work for me.
I have managed to overcome a previous issue with importing the solution which was very similar to this one:
www.magnetismsolutions.com/.../Dynamics-CRM-2015-Solution-Import-Fails-with-Unable-to-find-Metadata
Their "option 2" involved manually editing the solution.xml and customizations.xml files of the backup which I did and it seemed to overcome that particular problem. I didn't know how to achieve their "option 1" so that wasn't an option for me.
