   Hi 
   
   We have a new version setup in azure and installed all portal connector modules. But when we go to the configuration screen to setup the connection tp D365 the screen is blank,
   
   Can anyone assist please?
   
   This is the first time we setup our own version so we might have missed something.
   
   we running TPC version 6.0.7626.137 and Sitefinity trial 13.3.7626.0

   Hello Sakkie
   For future reference, issues that involve troubleshooting are best resolved during our Q+A, If we are unable to resolve it during the short time there, then we may proceed to open a ticket. 
   
   Connection issues can range from TLS issues to using depreciated connection types,  Without looking at your TPC error logs, it would be hard to diagnose. As a tip, please set your error log verbosity to Developer.

   Hi Omar
   
   Thanks for the reply
   
   We did not know that is a rule with this forum we will use the Q+A from now on first.
    
   With regards to the issue above, we managed to solve it we just forgot to update this ticket. The other Pavliks DLL also need to be included which the documentation is not saying.
   
   Will mark it as answered.

   Hello Sakkie
   
   There is no rule. It just makes it easier to troubleshoot issues in person. What Dll did our documentation fail to mention?

   Hi Omar
   
   We did struggle for while before adding the question. Next time we will sign up for the Q+A.
   
   With regards to the missing info on the documentation. 
   
   If you look at this link https://www.crmportalconnector.com/developer-network/documentation/setup-portal-connector/installation/installing-tpc/installing-tpc-on-sitefinity-13 its saying add the DLLs references for the below list.
   
   pavliks.PortalConnector.dll 
   pavliks.PortalConnector.Mvc
   pavliks.PortalConnector.Mvc.Forms
   pavliks.PortalConnector.Mvc.Pages
   pavliks.PortalConnector.Mvc.FormFlow
   pavliks.PortalConnector.Migrations
   pavliks.PortalConnector.Mvc.PowerBI
   pavliks.PortalConnector.Mvc.KnowledgeBase
   
   But after chatting to Christopher Hicks at TPC. He helped us by adding the references to pavliks.PortalConnector.AdminApp, pavliks.PortalConnector.Auditing, pavliks.PortalConnector.Migrations and pavliks.PortalConnector.PowerPlatform.
   
   Adding these other references we managed to see the content of the 'ThePortalConnector Configuration' screen.

   Thank you for informing me. I will see to have our documentation up-to-date. In our previous versions, you did not need to reference optional dlls like Auditing, Migrations and PowerPlatform. However, for 6.0, you also need to reference these optional dlls. We will address this issue on TPC 6.1. That said, AdminApp is a required dll and should be always refenced going forward.

   We're also experience this problem. The solution in this thread doesn't seem to work for us. We're on same versions as OP and hosting on Azure, can't get it to work locally either thought.
   
   From the Sitefinity error log we get this exception: 
   System.InvalidOperationException: 'The view 'Default' or its master was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations. The following locations were searched:
   ~/Views/AdminAppBackendView/Default.cshtml
   ...

   Hi Ernesto,
   
   This issue is likely the same as described earlier in the thread.
   
   When you compile the application, Sitefinity runs a script that scans the assemblies in the bin folder of the application called ControllerContainerAsembliesLocation.json. In this file there needs to be references to the following Portal connector assemblies:
   
       "pavliks.PortalConnector.AdminApp.dll",
       "pavliks.PortalConnector.Auditing.dll",
       "pavliks.PortalConnector.dll",
       "pavliks.PortalConnector.Migrations.dll",
       "pavliks.PortalConnector.Mvc.dll",
       "pavliks.PortalConnector.Mvc.FormFlow.dll",
       "pavliks.PortalConnector.Mvc.Forms.dll",
       "pavliks.PortalConnector.Mvc.KnowledgeBase.dll",
       "pavliks.PortalConnector.Mvc.Pages.dll",
       "pavliks.PortalConnector.Mvc.PowerBI.dll",
       "pavliks.PortalConnector.PowerPlatform.dll",
   
   This should happen automatically but if the files are blocked by windows, the script cannot read them and they are not added to the file. Windows can block files downloaded from the internet.
   
   Try right clicking each one of the above files in the windows file explorer and checking the properties for an "Unblock" checkbox. if you see it, this file is blocked. Check the checkbox to unblock it and once all the above files are checked, try recompiling the application and see if the missing ones are in the file.
   
   Ultimately, nothing is stopping you from simply adding the above lines to the json file but that doesn't solve why they are missing in the first place.
   
   Hopefully this helps, please let me know if you have any questions.
