Solution import error: Plugin Types import: FAILURE (System.Xml.XmlElement caused an exception)

See original GitHub issue

We have Dynamics 365 (8.2) and encountering the following error when trying to import the solution “Dynamics365WorkflowTools_1_0_38_0.zip”:

<Cell ss:StyleID="s137" name="ErrorCode"> <Data ss:Type="String">0x80048012</Data> </Cell> <Cell ss:StyleID="s137" name="ErrorText"> <Data ss:Type="String">Plugin Types import: FAILURE. Error: Plugin: msdyncrmWorkflowTools, Version=1.0.37.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=416e876b9bee261e of PluginTypeName: Microsoft.Crm.Entities.PluginType and PluginTypeNode: System.Xml.XmlElement caused an exception.</Data> </Cell>

I’m attaching the full importlog as well (it’s xml, but had to give it a txt extension for the attachment to be accepted).

Thanks so much, I’m looking forward to using this solution!

Figured out the problem, and fixed it on my end: The “Microsoft Dynamics CRM Sandbox Processing Service” was not running. I just needed to start it.

Had the same issue. You need to check customization.xml in the solution. Extra plugin types in my case.
