Could not load file or assembly ‘Microsoft.Xrm.Client, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35′ or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Got this exception during the deployment of a plugin using the xrm library. By questioning the internet I found a lot of sources talking about different versions of dll (32 vs 64 bits) like over here: Could not load file or assembly
Sounds possible but anyways in my case the solution was to add all the xrm dlls to the directory the plugin registration tool is executed.
Complete exception:
Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly ‘Microsoft.Xrm.Client, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35′ or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
