Posted on by Robert Cassar

I have developed an MVC 4 website that interacts with CRM 2015 (via SDK) and it works fine from my VS 2012. When I publish the website to the CRM Server, I get an error with a dll which I am not using in my website. The website is published inside a virtual directory with it's own application pool. The error I keep getting is the following:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Crm, Version=7.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Description:

An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Crm, Version=7.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can anyone help with this issue?

Thanks

Hi,

Check you have same version file available on the server under GAC, it may be there is old file or not there at all, put it there and also make sure all CRM Sdk available under bin director of your application.

Hope it will help.

Thanks.

I think you should just be able to copy those files from the CRM Server's bin folder into your own bin folder. Each time you do it you will get a new error pointing to a different dll....I think there is between 5 and 7 total that you will need to copy into your bin folder.

Thanks,

I have done that already and it is still giving me the same error for the same assembly. I am not sure if i need to change something in the virtual directory settings in iis.

It seems that creating a virtual directory within CRM website is unsupported. However creating another website on CRM server is supported. So now I created a separate website with separate application pool.

However I am getting another error and cannot find any help.

The server was unable to process the request due to an internal error. For more information about the error, either turn on IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults (either from ServiceBehaviorAttribute or from the <serviceDebug> configuration behavior) on the server in order to send the exception information back to the client, or turn on tracing as per the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK documentation and inspect the server trace logs.

Thanks
