There is a very odd issue with the Image Registration in the CRM Developer Toolkit.
I have a plugins project which deploys fine through CRM Developer Toolkit.
If I then remove all message processing steps and the assembly from the CRM organisation in order to do a 'clean slate' installation of all plugins, the deployment always fails at certain image registration steps, with no error message other than 'operation failed':
Registering Step (College Interview Pre Update) against Type name = ADSS.Plugins.CollegeInterview
Microsoft.Xrm.Tooling.Connector.CrmServiceClient Verbose: 16 : ==>Executed Command - Create : Register Step : duration: 00:00:00.1185196
Microsoft.Xrm.Tooling.Connector.CrmServiceClient Verbose: 16 : ==>Executed Command - RetrieveMultiple : Update Dates : duration: 00:00:00.0332684
Adding Image (PreImage) to plugin step - Typename = ADSS.Plugins.CollegeInterview
Deploy or Update operation Failed. Elapsed Time: 00:00:01.7947090
Completed CRM Deployment - Deploy Result: Failed - Ended At 12:07 - Elapsed Time: 00:00:20.8123669
If I then deploy the plugin again, either by selecting just the plugin that failed to deploy before or by redeploying all plugins, the deployment of that plugin completes without error, but then fails again at a subsequent image registration for another plugin.
So I can complete the entire process, but instead of being able to do this as a single action, it probably takes me 5-10 separate attempts (in a project with many plugins and images.)
