    Hi mroot,

    Can you please make sure the version of plugin registration tool and CRM version matches. I have face same issue when I use plugin registration version 9.0 to Profile CRM 8,2. To fix the issue I have to uninstalled Profiler and used 8.2 to install profile and start profile workflow.

    Thanks

    Hi mroot,

    I was working on CRM 8.2 and custom workflow .NET version is 4.5.2. May I know your CRM version.

    Thanks

    I was using Dynamics v9 with plugin registration v9. Building custom workflow with .net 4.6.2 and wasn't able to register my workflow in plugin registration at all.   Went down and built custom workflow with .net 4.5.2 and was able to register my workflow but not able to profile it.

    Hi mroot,

    Can you please try following suggestions.

    1.  Can you try registering custom workflow in a different v9 environment to make sure issue is not with environment  
    2.  Create simple custom workflow ( see below code) only for test purpose to make sure issue is not with workflow. Please do everything from scratch  like
      • Uninstall Profiler and Re install Profiler
      • Build custom workflow with .net 4.6.2
      • use plugin registration tool version 9
     public class WorkflowClass1 : CodeActivity
    {
        [Input("Name")]
        public InArgument<string> Name { get; set; }
        protected override void Execute(CodeActivityContext executionContext)
        {
            ITracingService tracer = executionContext.GetExtension<ITracingService>();
            IWorkflowContext context = executionContext.GetExtension<IWorkflowContext>();
            IOrganizationServiceFactory serviceFactory = executionContext.GetExtension<IOrganizationServiceFactory>();
            IOrganizationService service = serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);

            try
            {
                Entity entity = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];
                var name = Name.Get<string>(executionContext);

                //TODO: Do stuff
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException(e.Message);
            }
        }
    }


    Hope this help you

    Thanks

    Justin Jose
