In this post we will discuss how we can resolve an issue which comes while Registering SPWorkflowService while configuring Workflow manager for SharePoint 2016. Recently while configuring workflow manager for SharePoint 2016, I got the below error while running the PowerShell command to register workflow service.
Register-SPWorkflowService -SPSite “http://mypc/sites/MySP2016SiteCollection/” -WorkflowHostUri “http://localhost:12291” -AllowOAuthHttp -Force

After running the above PowerShell command, the error comes as:
Register-SPWorkflowService : Workflow XAML failed validation due to the
following errors:
Invalid type(s) ‘Microsoft.Activities.CacheScope’.
HTTP headers received from the server – ActivityId:

Solution:
I googled a lot but thaks to Asish, for sharing such a beautiful solution.
First Download and Install Service Bus 1.0 Cumulative Update 1.
Then Download and Install WorfkFlow 1.0 Cumulative Update 3.
Then I restarted my machine and run the PowerShell command. This is not mandatory step, but if without restarting it did not work then restart the machine once and try, it should work fine.
Hope this will be helpful.
