Hello All,

Following is my Error code:

    The error indicates that the plugin registration tool cannot find (using reflection) any plugin types in the assembly. There are a couple of things to try:

    1. Make sure your assembly has references to an up-to-date version (Version=9.0.0.0) of the CRM SDK assemblies
    2. Have you used ILMerge to merge assemblies ? If so, check the settings used in ILMerge, as this can cause problems. If possible, try creating a simple assembly that isn't ILMerged, and check if you can register that

    Also, is this the first time that you have registered the assembly in this environment, or are you re-registering it ? If you are re-registering, is the assembly strong name (based on name, version and public key token) the same as the currently registered assembly ?

    Hello Prachi,

    Make sure you merge any dependencies with ILmerge before registering the assembly. Also, Please see below links:
