Do you already haved install the solution and are you making a upgrade solution?? Do you have xml feature, feature correct format? Do you forget any file, open wsp with zip and see if are all files there. Andr Lage Microsoft SharePoint and CRM Consultant http://aaclage.blogspot.com

Hi Vivek When your solution specifies elements (a.k.a. "resources") that need to be merged into a Web.config file (i.e. "for a Web application") then you must specify the URL parameter. If your solution does not have an assembly or if your solution contains workflows, then you cannot specify the URL parameter.

I found this post and still cannot understand why this line won't work STSADM -o deploysolution -name solution.wsp -immediate -url http://localhost:666 -allowGacDeployment -allowCasPolicies -force I have 4 features into my solution. A feature deploying Columns, one deploying Content Types, another one deploying Master Pages and one deploying Page Layouts. I'm using WSPBuilder to build the WSP. There is also 4 DLL which are put into the GAC. One which contains a featureReceiver for the Content Type feature Activation. The ADDSOLUTION works and when I go to the Solution Management page into the Central Admin, I can manually deploy the solution. However the STSADM command returns This solution contains no resources scoped for a Web application and cannot be deployed to a particular Web application. I tried without the URL parameters and received the following message : This solution contains resources scoped for a Web application and must be deployed to one or more Web applications.
