Hi,

I'm trying to apply upgrade for my solution but i'm getting this error 

"There should be at least one metadata entity returned for Id: a9c48d61-9680-4fd2-858a-f9937380f121"

Any one face it before

    Correct. I had the same issue and opened a ticket at MSFT Support. They found the same problem and ran a script to delete the orphan labels in the database.

    A workaround for importing MANAGED Solutions is:

    1) Import the managed solution

    2) upgrade the target solution

    3) import the managed solution again with overwrite customization checkbox activated (This will overwrite the wrong labels again)

    MSFT installed a fix for this big in my environment. So it is solved.

    After contacting MS support, they fix my issue and the reason as what they say: your database filled with Orphan Labels, so deleting them fix the issue, the orphan label is a label you changed it's name but due to an internal bug it did create duplicate record in the localisation records

    I have a ticket open and am regularly speaking to MS about the issue.

    I ended up doing a restore after several attempts at resolving the issue. Now I'm faced with a solution upgrade problem, where anytime I stage a solution for upgrade, the custom sitemap is no longer accessible after applying the upgrade. Doing regular solution imports works though, so long as "stage for upgrade" is not checked.

    The MS product development team is troubleshooting the issue, so a fix will hopefully be released shortly. At this point, it seems to be a system issue that is out of our control.

    I have the same problem with a solution (managed) which I have upgraded several times in the last weeks and month without any problems.

    I just changed 3 views in a patch and kloned the solution, exported as managed and try to import into the prod environment.

    Seems to be a system problem. I am in the Western Europe environment.

    Same issue here. Initially received errors regarding a custom SiteMap for my Model-Driven App. Had to manually resolve it in my Production instance since solution import did not resolve the issue. After resolving that, I am now getting this error message while importing a Solution Upgrade: "There should be at least one metadata entity returned for Id".

    When you say upgrade is it an upgraded managed solution you are importing?

    Share the full log, exact repro steps & what are all the solution components available inside. Try different browsers, SA login, Publish All customizations before doing anything may help.

    If it’s crm onpremise - people sorted out as some AD permission issue: community.dynamics.com/.../146675
