Unable to Install profiler through Plugin Registration Tool Dynamics365

I was having an issue trying to install profiler through Plugin Registration Tool. I was able do all actions on plugins from registration to disabling them.  I was using Microsoft Dynamics® CRM 2016/D365 (8.2.2.112) (DB 8.2.2.112) On-premises, and Registration tool version is 8.2.1.8676 64bit.

What I have tried: I tried tp install profiler in a Dev environment, and a sandbox environment this did not work. I tried to install it on the DEV instance running plugins and still  the same issue.

NOTE: This issue was happening evening though l was a system administrator and deployment admin.

Error Log:

Solution

What worked in this instance was  Installing Plugin profiler zip file as a Dynamics CRM Solution. You will see a .zip file with name "PluginProfiler.Solution.zip" for plugin profiler. If you import it, this will be the solution to the issue.
