Install Windows Identity Foundation on Windows 8.1

Hi All,

"Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.IdentityModel, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified"

If you get this error on authenticating CRM 2011 you will have to install the Windows Identity Foundation in your PC.

When trying to install Windows Identity Foundation on Windows 8.1, I got the following error.


To fix this issue, you can go to "Turn Windows Features On or Off", and turn on the following features.

Now the issue is fixed. :-)

Hope this helps.
Thank You.
