Solution will not begin Import into new environment

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 41

Hello all, 

I am trying to import my unmanaged master solution into a new "DEV" environment. Our plan is to leave behind our old Dev environment and start using a new Dev environment. We are doing this because we have removed 60+ solutions out of our TEST and PROD environments. Removing these out of our unmanaged DEV will take weeks/months so we would like to just start over and move what we need to our new DEV. 

I stood up a new blank environment and attempted to import our unmanaged master solution and received an error before I could even start the import. 4061.Import-solution.png

I have researched this error and have found a few things to try but before I take action I want to get some other opinions on what I should try. 

Thanks,

Joey

    Hi Joey Helms,

    The image you have shown that is the classic CRM window.
    Recommendation is to use the new UI i.e. PowerApps https://make.powerapps.com/ to import the solution.

    Hey Manoj,

    Thanks for the recommendation I tried this and still received an error.

    The error: "Expected non-empty Guid."

    It will not let me proceed with the import. The "next" button is greyed out.

    Hi Joey Helms ,

    Usually this type of error came when you have any custom workflow or plugins where it is expecting Some sort of GUID.

    Please check by removing workflows if there aren't Many One by One to narrow down which one is causing issue.

    Thanks,
    Manoj.

    I am assuming you are importing a default solution to new DEV instance. So I would recommend you to instead manually moving solution around, you should use 'Copy Environment' feature from Power Platform Admin Center.

    Please follow below article to get your environment copied over.

    While export the solution you missed required component then you try to import into another environment that is way it is falling.
