Resolution

Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
  1. Move the callout .dll file and the Callout.config.xml file to the following folder:
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft CRM\Server\bin\assembly
  2. Reset IIS. To do this, click Start, click Run, type iisreset in the Open box, and then click OK.

    Note You should reset IIS after hours because users will temporarily lose connectivity to Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

    8. Click the Security tab.
    9. Click the account that you identified in step f, click the Allow check box for the Full Control permission, and then click OK.
  4. Change the SetupMode registry subkey to 0. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
    2. Locate and then select the following registry subkey:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MSCRM
