I created a simple plugin and when I was trying to register the plugin through the plugin registration tool I was getting the follwing error
Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly ‘Microsoft.Crm.Sdk, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35’ or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

The way I resolved the issue was by adding the microsoft.crm.sdk.dll to my machine’s GAC !!
I hope it works for others as well !!!

The solution is to copy the Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.dll file to Plugin Registration Tool.exe folder. The Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.dll file must reside in the same folder as the executable file.

there is another solution for this problem if above given solution does not works for you.
Check the “Processor Architecture” of the Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.dll in GAC, if it is x86 try to compile you registration tool code and plugin assembly both in x86 format. now register your assembly, it should work now.
