A while back I posted about the differences between a vanilla Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 installation vs. a system that was upgraded from CRM 3.0 to CRM 4.0.  During my testing, I noticed one issue regarding an error when importing “upgraded” customizations into a vanilla system.  The error had to do with Bulk Operation entity.  Failure: bulkoperation: Invalid argument.

Microsoft appears to have since released a hotfix for this issue.  You can get and read about the hotfix here:  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948588/EN-US/

The cause, according to the KB article, is:

“This problem occurs because the customization file contains obsolete views. These obsolete views are obtained from the upgraded Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 environment. However, the customization file is no longer available for the import on a new Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 server. These views are moved to the entity-named import.”

Enjoy,
