I get no error message it just returns back to the login screen.

Answer 1

The issue here is that the CRM is on version 9.0.0.3172 and the SDK is on 8.2.1.1

Microsoft has prevented you from getting the most recent version of the SDK by monolithic download only the old version is accessible via their website.

The new version of Dynamics to 9.0 version will require the last version 9.0.0.7 of PluginRegistrationTool

You can get it by downloading it through NuGet in Visual Studio instance. Just typing PluginRegistrationTool and search for the 9.0.0.7 version. Or through power shell.

Here you have the instructions:

Method #1: Using Visual Studio (Package Manager Console):

1. Create a new Console application in Visual Studio
2. Open Tools --> Nuget Package Manager Console

3. Copy and paste the command below from this article into the Package Manager Console: Install-Package Microsoft.CrmSdk.XrmTooling.PackageDeployment -Version 9.0.0.7

4. Check the location where the package was installed:

· You will be able to find Plugin Registration tool in the Package location of the solution folder.

Method #2: Using Windows Powershell:

Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/pt-pt/dynamics365/customer-engagement/developer/download-tools-nuget

In your Windows Start menu, type Windows Powershell and open it.

Navigate to the folder you want to install the tools to. For example if you want to install them in a devtools folder on your D drive, type cd D:\devtools. Copy and paste the following PowerShell script into the PowerShell window and press Enter

$sourceNugetExe = "https://dist.nuget.org/win-x86-commandline/latest/nuget.exe"
$targetNugetExe = ".\nuget.exe"
Remove-Item .\Tools -Force -Recurse -ErrorAction Ignore
Invoke-WebRequest $sourceNugetExe -OutFile $targetNugetExe
Set-Alias nuget $targetNugetExe -Scope Global -Verbose
