I am trying to install VirtoCommerce.AvalaraTax module (tried all version 3.3,3.4,3.5) to our azure hosted environment by updating the packaging.json. But everytime when build is ran, it gives the following error :

```auto
##[error]NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at VirtoCommerce.Platform.Core.Common.SemanticVersion.ToString()

Repeating warnings and errors:

```

The build fails as long as Avalara module is included, what is the possible solution for this?

Could you share your packaging.json?

Hi

Thank you for the files, Unfortunately, I could not reproduce the problem on my machine and clean platform folder.

To resolve the issue, I recommend:

1. Update Virto Commerce CLI to latest build

dotnet tool update VirtoCommerce.GlobalTool -g

 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex032/uploads/virtocommerce/original/2X/2/2c5abdecb2d36e5a4f95c6f948a34346bdbd5a88.png)

1. Clean modules folder

2. Install modules by vc build and your vc-package.json

Do you see any error?

PS: I recommend update platform and modules to latest stable release for net3 [vc-modules/package.json at master · VirtoCommerce/vc-modules (github.com)](https://github.com/VirtoCommerce/vc-modules/blob/master/bundles/v0/package.json)

Hi Aman.

Could you call Get Order API, export your order to JSON file and submit the ticket to [Support : Virto Commerce Helpdesk](https://help.virtocommerce.com/support/home)?

I think something is wrong with order data.

Hi Aman!

Looks like the problem is with data in your order. Could you send us the JSON of the problematic order?  
Checked on version 3.200
