Issue Installing D365 F&O Visual Studio Extension after Power Platform Tools Setup

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Raj Borad 1,331
Hi,
 
In Visual Studio 2022, after installing the Power Platform Tools, we were able to successfully connect to the UDE Dataverse instance.
During the metadata setup in Visual Studio, we were prompted to download metadata. The D365 FinOps assets were downloaded, and the PackagesLocalDirectory was successfully extracted.
 
However, the D365 F&O Visual Studio extension is not getting installed. We also tried installing the downloaded extension manually, but the “Configure Metadata” option is still not visible in Visual Studio.
 
Please advise on the next steps to resolve this.
 
Best regards,
Raj Borad

    Hi Raj,
     
    Most likely after a restart of Visual Studio, it will ask for installing the remaining components that were downloaded together with all package details.
    There can be a difference between a not visible menu for the Configure metadata or not enabled. In case it is not enabled, then connect to the online environment again.

    Hi,
     
    Configuration of metadata happens automatically if you have a checkbox on:
     
     
    However, if for some reasons, the configuration is not created, you can create it manually, using the process mentioned here.
     
    Make sure to completion of the manual installation steps before creating the configuration yourself.
