    Hi,

    A constants thought continuously traversing my mind is, do we really have to do these to configure a plug-in on the Live production environment in the customers site:

    • Download the SDK
    • Install Visual Studio on Clients Servers
    • Open the Plug-in Registration solution and reference the CRM Web References
    • Open the Plug-in registration tool and configure the plug-in you created etc.

    Or is there some easy way out like installing a solution (.exe)

    To put up the question in another way, how do you register a plug-in, workflow or configure these CRM accelerators in the production environment? Do we actually have to install the development tools like Visual Studio for this or can be done without?

    Your inputs will be really appreciable. Thank you.

    Best Regards,
    Gagandeep Singh

    Compile the PluginRegistration Tool on your dev machine and you will be able to use the .exe file produced in any of your environments. Just copy the Plugin tool to you servers. The plugin registration tool allows you to specify a crm server address when it starts up so no need to update the reference for each server instance.
