    Hi experts,

     i used to be able to register or update plugin in my organisation via Visual Studio, but now i can't either register nor update plugin . i have the admin role in the organisation, what is surprising is that evrything you use to work fine but now, even if i create a new plugin and a new solution where i want to upload the problem, the registration is no longer working.

    I am using this approach descirbed in this Blog to create or update plugins.

    Below is the error message i m always getting in both cases: creating new plugin or updating them

    This error generally happens when your old plugin assembly contained some plugin types which were registered, but the new assembly content does not contain the corresponding types (for example you had a plugin called "MyPlugin" and then you changed the name of a class to "MyNewPlugin"). Another reason why you would get this message is if you have changed the assembly metadata (culture, version, public key token, etc). You are only allowed to change the build/revision number of the version, otherwise you cannot just "update the contents".

    Try unregistering the assembly all together and re-registering the assembly after creating your new class; yes this means you will need to recreate your steps and images

    I hope this helps. If my response answered your question, please mark the response as an answer and also vote as helpful.
