If you receive this error when attempting to use the Paribus 365™ Data Cleansing plugin and you have “custom” Merge or Group Processing rules, this is likely due to a recent Paribus 365 update.

Solution: In the v1.6 (Jan 2017) update of the Paribus for MSCRM plugin, it was necessary to update it to use the latest Microsoft SDK assemblies and also target a newer version of the .NET Framework (v4.5.2). This means that any existing “custom” Merge/Group plugins will have to be re-compiled against the latest version of these components.
