If you are writing code for CRM Online install, chances are that you would receive the above error when trying to execute your code.

Currently you would have used a similar code block

// Retrieve a Windows Live ticket from the Live service.
LogonManager lm = new LogonManager();
string passportTicket = lm.Logon("someone@microsoft.com",
"password", "crm.dynamics.com", policyResponse.Policy, "Production");

Try instead to use the using block as advised. Change this section of the code to

using(LogonManager lm = new LogonManager())
{
string passportTicket = lm.Logon("someone@microsoft.com",
"password", "crm.dynamics.com", policyResponse.Policy, "Production");
}

3. The idcrlwrapper comes along with a supporting registry file in the SDK folder. Make sure you install the registry entries.
4. Be sure to use the 64 bit version for all of the above if trying to install it on a 64 bit platform.
