    Thanks for letting us know. Actually I meant 4.6.2 and not 4.5.2

    Thank you, Miguel,

    I resolved the issue as below.

    I created the plugin for Dynamics 365. it is required SDK 9.0 or higher.

    SDK 9.0 required V4.6.2  .Net framework version.

    Therefor I added V4.6.2 .Net framework to visual studio 2019  (it was missing in Visual Studio 2019)

    To add: Windows -> Search -> Visual Studio Installer -> Modify -> Individual Components and check the right version (v4.6.2)

    After choosing V4.6.2 .Net for Target framework in Visual Studio and build. I was successfully register the plugin .

    Regards,

    SivaR
