CRM 2011, roll up 16, error while importing manged solution

(0) ShareShare

Hi all,

 

Our company is using CRM 2011 On-Premise. After installing the latest update (roll up 16) we are facing a problem with importing managed solution into another environment.

 

We were getting the following error message:

"A managed solution cannot overwrite the OptionSet component with Id=xxxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxxx which has an unmanaged base instance.  The most likely scenario for this error is that an unmanaged solution has installed a new unmanaged OptionSet component on the target system, and now a managed solution from the same publisher is trying to install that same OptionSet component as managed.  This will cause an invalid layering of solutions on the target system and is not allowed."

 

In our custom activity, we got this error with two TwoOption field which were wrongly set to Unmanaged, called IsMapiPrivate as well as the LeftVoiceMail one.

We found a workaround (unsupported) in the post http://crmtroubleshoot.blogspot.nl/2013/10/dynamics-crm-2013-custom-activity-issue.html.

 

After that we had issues with custom many-to-many relationships:

 

A managed solution cannot overwrite the Attribute component with Id=xxxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxxx which has an unmanaged base instance.  The most likely scenario for this error is that an unmanaged solution has installed a new unmanaged Attribute component on the target system, and now a managed solution from the same publisher is trying to install that same Attribute component as managed.  This will cause an invalid layering of solutions on the target system and is not allowed.

 

After removing these relationships from the customization xml the solution was successfully imported.

 

Does anybody face the same problems? and are there supported ways to solve them?

    We are having exactly the same issues as yours and we posted our questions here, but nobody come up with a better solution.

    Having the same problem with almost every customer now. Can someone soon kick the MSCRM team in the ***!!

    I am sick and tired of having them introduce problems with their updates.

    Could you please explain in short steps how you remove it from the XML, not doing it wrong? After importing successfully once, are you able to do it without an XML change next time?

    Hi THOMASJS,

    You have to remove those parts from the XML every time to be able to import the solution, until these issues are solved. But this method is unsupported. It would be better if you uninstall RU16, There is another post regarding this issue: community.dynamics.com/.../120405.aspx.

    Hi, we are facing this issue in UR 18. We cannot import our managed solution beacause of the field 'ismapiprivate' in a custom activity entity.

    Editing the xml prior to every deployment is no option.

    Anyone experiencing the same in UR 18?

    Hi, Hartmann

    Even we are facing this issue, managed solution import is getting failed due to the fields "ismapiprivate" & "leftvoicemail" in all the custom entities.

    And it is not fair to edit customization.xml for importing the solution.

    Need help on this.
