[OpsMgr 2007] Importing a Management Pack in System Center Operations Manager fails if a dependent management pack isn't imported - KB Microsoft

Article ID: 2698846 - Last Review: April 18, 2012 - Revision: 1.0
When importing a management pack in System Center Operations Manager 2007 that has a dependency on another management pack, the import may fail with the following message:

<ManagementPackName> could not be imported.

If any management packs in the Import list are dependent on this management pack, the installation of the dependent management packs will fail.
The requested management pack was invalid. See inner exception for details.
Parameter name: managementPack

This issue occurs because a management pack that the management pack being imported depends on isn't imported in the management group. In order to work around this problem, import the dependent management packs first then import the management packs that depend on them.

NOTE If you're unsure of the dependencies for a management pack, they will be listed in the management pack guide.

 ---------------------------------------------
I would add to this KB the fact that you can have an import failure if the dependencies in the management pack are created on version that is not the same of the dependent management pack that are installed in the management group. The error message will ask you the good version of the dependent managament pack.
If it's a provided MP, you 'll have to upgrade the dependent MPs - If it's your own MP, just edit the xml and give the good version of the dependent MP.
