Hi @parasdesaicims, sorry for the delay. We successfully found the solution for your problem but also we reproduced the issue on our side.

To solve the issue, check in MyVirtualAssistant9en-us_Dispatch.dispatch file if the .LUIS file located in "C:\Users\Paras Desai\Documents\LM-Skill1\LMSkill_1\Deployment\Resources\LU\en-us\lmskill_1.luis" exists or not.
That resource seems to be an old skill that you have connected (not the one you are trying to connect) and the LUIS file is not present in that folder.

Here you have 2 alternatives:

1. Keep that resource:
   1. Execute the bf luis:convert command to convert the .lu file to a LUIS application

      bf luis:convert --in "C:\Users\Paras Desai\Documents\LM-Skill1\LMSkill_1\Deployment\Resources\LU\en-us\lmskill_1.lu" --culture "en-us" --out "C:\Users\Paras Desai\Documents\LM-Skill1\LMSkill_1\Deployment\Resources\LU\en-us\lmskill_1.luis" --name "LMSkill_1"

   2. Connect the new Skill

      botskills connect --remoteManifest "https://eu2-lmskill-1-efx4ell.azurewebsites.net/manifest/manifest-1.1.json" --cs --luisFolder "C:\Users\Paras Desai\Documents\Github\LM skill\License-Provisioning-Skill\LMSkill_1\Deployment\Resources\LU"

2. Remove that resource:
   1. Obtain the ID of the incorrect resource

      botskills list --cs

   2. Disconnect the incorrect resource

      botskills disconnect --i "<OBTAINED_ID>" --cs

   3. Connect the new Skill

      botskills connect --remoteManifest "https://eu2-lmskill-1-efx4ell.azurewebsites.net/manifest/manifest-1.1.json" --cs --luisFolder "C:\Users\Paras Desai\Documents\Github\LM skill\License-Provisioning-Skill\LMSkill_1\Deployment\Resources\LU"

We followed these steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Connect first skill to the Virtual Assistant
2. Delete generated .luis file of the first skill
3. Connect second skill to the Virtual Assistant
4. See error during the dispatch refresh

Hope this helps 😊.

yes. @Batta32 after doing the above steps, I was able to add the skill. Though one more step to follow would be the refresh of the cognitive models from Local to remote (or w/o -Remotetolocal tag) would make sure the Bot gets pushed to the teams correctly.

One issue I am facing, and I feel it's a bug. I have added authentication to the skill, while everything runs smoothly in the skill itself when I am trying to run the same auth with VA it doesn't take the clicks on the login button(shows the link correctly) in teams even though there is an activity handler set up in the class. Please let me know if you need more information or shall I open another request. Attaching the screenshot here.

Great @parasdesaicims! Glad to hear that the connection worked now, we will close this issue 😊.

About the authentication's problem, can you raise a new issue in the repository explaining the step by step and environment that you are following?
