HiI need to deploy existing solution (*.wsp) that I have from another farm to a new farm.I run a script that make the site recognize the solution, in site settings>>site features, I activate the solution, but the is not "visible", don't show those customization and resource of my solution.how I make work this resources?!Tks

oh...tksyes, I install the solution via stsadmfollow my script:@echo Off@set PATH=C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN;%PATH%echo.echo.echo Adding solution...stsadm -o addsolution -filename Solution.wspecho Actvating solution...stsadm -o deploysolution -name solution.wsp -allcontenturls -AllowGacDeployment -immediate -force echo.echo echo.stsadm -o execadmsvcjobsecho.echo Instaled Solution.REM IISRESET pauseafter execute this, I start the feature in the site

What does the solution do? In many cases you have to do something with it after it is activated. For example, if it is a web part then you will need to add it to the page(s) you want to use it.SharePoint MVP | Developer | Administrator | Speaker-- Twitter -- Blog - http://nextconnect.blogspot.com

The WSP isn't saved on the server, its essentially unpackaged and the files are saved into the directories like the features and themes referenced above. It sounds like it is being deployed. Try selecting the theme in an existing site and see if it is available. Activating a solution will not set the theme unless you have very specific code to do so. Normally it just adds it to the list of themes in the site. Go to, Site Actions, Site Settings, Site theme to see the list of themes for the given site.SharePoint MVP | Developer | Administrator | Speaker-- Twitter -- Blog - http://nextconnect.blogspot.com

Hi, Please try to redeploy your solution based on the troubleshooting steps in this blog.http://blogs.msdn.com/dhirajm/archive/2009/10/03/troubleshooting-solution-wsp-deployment.aspx If this doesn’t help, please get the ULS Log regarding this issue and cite it here for further assistance.

Hi marcelo_m In the solution package you need to write the code to update the siteTheme.XML file also.

Hi John,Good point....However, Im not sure if Marcelo wrote the feature or the wsp but he he said that he doesnt see the theme so if its activated it may not have created an entry in the SPThemes.xmlC:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033\SPThemes.xmlThere should be an entry like the following Example <Templates> <TemplateID>SPORTING</TemplateID> <DisplayName>Sporting Site Theme</DisplayName> <Description>Sporting site theme.</Description> <Thumbnail>images/SampleSiteThemes/thSporting.gif</Thumbnail> <Preview>images/SampleSiteThemes/thSporting.gif</Preview> </Templates>The Feature in this case is in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\SPORTING folder and the theme is in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\THEMES\SPORTING folder...-Ivan Ivan Sanders My LinkedIn Profile, My Blog, @iasanders.
