Import a solution from CRM 2011 to CRM 2015

If you keen on trying CRM 2015 and not willing to choose the upgrade path of CRM 2011-> CRM 2013 -> CRM 2015.... then you are not alone...

When you try to import the solution you will get an error saying the solution cannot be imported from CRM 2011...

Since the solution file is a mere XML, as a developer, I wanted to play around it..

This is what I did. I changes the customization.xml and updated the xml header like below.

<ImportExportXml version="7.0.0000.4013" SolutionPackageVersion="7.0" languagecode="1044" generatedBy="CrmLive" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">'

And the import went fine. Now it's for me to just start modifying the UI and fixing the javascript part :)


Have fun with crm 2015
