I have installed the Plugin Pro-filer, when I attempt to debug the Plugin in CRM, which fires on a phone call create, it fails to debug, throwing the following exception "
Unhandled Exception: System.ArgumentException: Unable to parse the
OrganizationServiceFault
." the error is not very descriptive, I have been battling for hours trying to resolve this issue, I attempted reinstalling the SDK, but the issue still persists, I have used the registration tool on a Contact create successfully before, now I am out of idea, any ideas to the solution for this issue, the error message itself is not descriptive, here is the full error "
Unhandled Exception: System.ArgumentException: Unable to parse the
OrganizationServiceFault. Parameter name: serializedReport at
PluginProfiler.Library.ProfilerUtility.ExtractReport(String
serializedReport) at
PluginProfiler.Library.ProfilerUtility.DeserializeProfilerReport(String
assemblyFilePath, String logFilePath, Boolean isCrmDataStream) at

". Its unfortunate that CRM 2015 doesn't have the Developer Toolkit in the SDK so the registration tool seems to be the only way to register plugin successfully. Your help will be highly appreciated.

Make sure your plug-ins step ends with "(profiled)". You can get this error trying to use the default error logs, and people get a false positive thinking the profiler is installed because they highlight the plugin and it gives the option to uninstall rather than install. You need to select the plugins step to confirm your plugin is being profiled.
