CRM Web Resource Linker/Publisher: Connection Failed to CRM 2013

Question

I am try to use the visual studio add-in "CRM 2011 Web Resource Linker/Publisher" from http://webresourcelinker.codeplex.com/.

When connecting to CRM 2013 Online, I get this error "Connection failed: There is an error in XML document(5, 5)"

I have checked Discovery Url, Username, Password, Unique Org Name.

Could you tell me what's wrong?

Thank you

I've found out how to resolve it, but still don't know the root cause. Here the steps:

1. Go to path: C:\Users\<current user>\LiveDeviceID
2. Delete the LiveDevice.xml
3. Try to connect from the application.
4. If this doesn’t solve the error, follow steps 1 and 2, reboot and try connecting from the application.

This should solve the problem.
