Error_42_Error occurred in deployment step 'Activate Features': Field type MyCustomField is not installed properly. Go to the list settings page to delete this field.

Has anyone encountered this error.
I am developing on SP 2010 with VS 2010.
I was following an online tutorial: How to use custom form templates in NewForm.aspx/EditForm.aspx  located at:
http://sharepointbox.blogspot.co.at/2010/11/how-to-use-custom-form-templates-in.html
The tutorial was a little lacking on some of the direction, but it included the working source code, and I managed to complete it.
Every time I try to deploy my version I get the error: Error 42 Error occurred in deployment step 'Activate Features': Field type MyCustomField is not installed properly. Go to the list settings page to delete this field.
I have gone through my code line by line and matched it to the working code from the tutorial, so I can only assume that I am missing something in the Procedure to properly deploy.
Any help is greatly Appreciated! 

It seems that something went wrong with your custom field type installation. Check below line in .xml file of your custom field type and correct it if needed.
<Field Name="FieldTypeClass">DocumentFieldType.DocumentFieldTypeClassName, DocumentFieldType, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=379382f3e8928835</Field>
Please recheck respective values of namespace.classname , dllname. and publickeytoken in your code
Thanks. Please mark it as an answer if it helps.

  • "One or more field types are not installed properly. Go to the list settings page to delete these fields" while accessing website pages

    We have a publishing website in SharePoint 2010. There are total 4 environments - Development, Test, Stage and Production. For some enhancements, we had to create some new lists and libraries. When we moved changes from Development to Test environment, everything
    worked fine. Relevant lists and libraries in lower environments were saved as templates (in .stp format) including content, imported to higher environment, lists/libraries were created in higher environment using imported templates. 
    Things worked fine from Development to Test. We did similar exercise from Test to Stage environment. Now in Stage, when we access some pages, we get error message - "One or more field types are not installed
    properly. Go to the list settings page to delete these fields.". ULS logs don't tell which exact list has got problems. 
    On searching for this error, I got many articles that explain how this could happen when we migrate from SharePoint 2007 (MOSS) to 2010. Though our case different (as all our environments are in 2010), we still tried following steps. 
    De-activate 'SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure' Site Collection feature
    Go to https://site-name/relationships%20list/allitems.aspx. This is a hidden list. Delete this list. 
    Re-activate 'SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure' Site Collection feature.
    Make sure that new hidden list with one item is created at https://site-name/relationships%20list/allitems.aspx
    However, this didn't help as we are still getting same error message. Appreciate if someone can suggest how this issue can be resolved. 
    Following are ULS logs:

    Hi Shrishail ,
    Some time this issue occurs if you have any custom filed types in the list or library and that field type is not installed on server .
    Can you please check that if you are having any custom field types column on the list and library and if that is the case you need to install that field type on the server. sometimes it happens if field types are not properly deployed / Installed then
    you have to uninstall that field types (retract solution) and deploy it again.
    Thanks,
    Ujjwal

    Hello,
    Is there any other content type on library or check if there is any duplicate column? Could you please also show us your library columns detail? (pic is also fine of lib settings page)
    If you have any ""Property Promotion" column then SP create those columns as site column and associate them with this template so check "Allow management of content types" for that form library as well.

    Hi,
    I think the issue is related to the internal name of the Expiration Day.
    In the caml query code lines, we should use the right internal field name to retrieve and filter the list items.
    To avoid such mistake, we can use the CAML Designer tool to generate the caml query code.
    We can download the tool here: http://www.camldesigner.com/?p=594

  • Field type TaxonomyFieldTypeMulti is not installed properly when opening Site columns page or saving site as template

    I have a site collection which I am moving from a SharePoint 2013 enterprise server to a SharePoint 2013 foundation server. This all seems fine apart from when I try and access the Site columns page (from Site settings) or when I save a Site as a template
    - both times I get the error: Field type TaxonomyFieldTypeMulti is not installed properly 
    If I look in the SharePoint logs I get the following:
    Unable to locate the xml-definition for FieldName with FieldId '249a1c1a-5a3e-4173-abad-779b01892510
    Any ideas?
    Many Thanks,
    Jenny

    I have re-done the migration from Enterprise to Foundation and now get the following error:
    Field type RatingCount is not installed properly. Go to the list settings page to delete this field.
    However I cannot go to the Site columns page as I get this error so don't see where I can delete this from? Previously I had to delete this field manually from each of the Blog sites but this time there don't
    appear to be these fields to delete - I presume because I disabled all the features relating to this premigration?
    Any ideas?
    Many thanks in advance,

    SPWeb spWeb = spSite.RootWeb;

    Administration.
    - Go to Application Management
    –> Change site collection administrations
    - Select the correct site
    collection and type your windows account as the secondary site collection administrator.
    - Try deploying now, it should work.
    or

  • Error_27_Error occurred in deployment step 'Activate Features': Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.

    I created a SharePoint 2013 farm solution project in Visual Studio 2013 (running on the same machine where SharePoint 2013 server is running) with
    event receiver.  I added web.config at project root level to store connection string (I'm working off external SQL DB) and got the following error during deployement:
    Error 27
    Error occurred in deployment step 'Activate Features': Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.
    When I commented out the ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyConnectionString"].ConnectionString; the error went away.  Am I missing something or not supposed to add my own App.config to SharePoint project solution? 

    Hi,
    From your description, you might want to store your connection string in web.config and there is an error during deployment.
    It is recommended to store the configuration data of SharePoint solution in either property bags or hierarchical object store.
    The links below will provide more information about this:

  • Error occurred in deployment step 'Activate Features'

    I have created an Empty SharePoint Project in Visual Studio 2010 and added a Web Part. The scope for my feature is set to "Site".
    My "Active deployment configuration" is set to Default. When I click Deploy in the context menu of the project in Visual Studio i receive this output:

    ========== Build: 1 succeeded or up-to-date, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========
    ========== Deploy: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========
    The error tells me that my feature doesn't exist.
    When I open Solution Management in Central Administration, I can see that the solution is added to the solution store:
    Name: sharepointproject1.wsp
    Type: Core Solution
    Contains Web Application Resource: Yes
    Contains Global Assembly: Yes
    Contains Code Access Security Policy: No
    Deployment Server Type: Front-end Web server
    Deployment Status: Not Deployed
    Deployed To: None
    Last Operation Result: The solution was successfully deployed.
    Last Operation Details: DKCPH-MOSSDEV2 : http://dkcph-mossdev2/ : The solution was successfully deployed.  
    Last Operation Time: 6/1/2010 1:58 PM
    The strange thing is that Deployment status is "Not Deployed" but Last Operation Result is "The solution was successfully deployed".
    When I check Site Collection Features on http://dkcph-mossdev2 the feature is not there.
    If I deploy the solution manually through Central Administration the solution is deployed successfully and everything works.
    It seems like there is a difference between deploying with visual studio and manually in Central Administration.
    Can someone give me a hint on how to make it work in Visual Studio.
    egholm

    Rickee that is exactly what I found as well.
    I would suggest scripting out your Solution / Feature deployments using PowerShell as Microsoft has said STSADM is going away.   As you can see from my thread I had these same headaches -

  • Error occurred in deployment step 'Activate Features': The type initializer for ' 'threw an exception

    Hi,
    I have develeoped custom timer job using vs 2010 to deploy in sharepoint server.
    While I right click on solution explorer and click on deploy then system throws an error "Error occurred in deployment step 'Activate Features': The type initializer for 'TestTimerJob.TestTimerJob' threw an exception."
    Please suggest.
    Thanks.

    Knowledge is power.
    Have you tried to set break point on feature activate? If not then set break point on feature activate and try to debug your code line by line.
    See this mSDN article to debug timer job:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff798310.aspx
    http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/70866/Debugging-Custom-SharePoint-Timer-Jobs
    Also make sure that:
    1. Once you deploy the time job, you need to reset the IIS
    2. restart the window timer service from services.msc
    Let us know your result

  • Error occurred in deployment step 'Activate Features':EXCEPTION HAS BEEN THROWN BY THE TARGET OF AN INVOCATION?

    Hi All,
    While building event handler to call webservice facing "Error occurred in deployment step 'Activate Features':EXCEPTION HAS BEEN THROWN BY THE TARGET OF AN INVOCATION"; If comment webservice, then build successfully. How to fix this issue?
    Thanks in advance!

    hi
    if you call WCF service in feature event receiver you need to ensure that proxy is properly configured. In most cases proxy is configured via web.config file using <system.serviceModel> section, but if it is used in feature receiver it depends on how
    you activate the feature:
    1. if feature is added to onet.xml of custom web template which is used for creating site collection from Central Administration you will need to modify web.config file of CA
    2. similar to previous but instead of site collection you try to create sub site using custom web template: in this case you will need to modify web.config of your Sharepoint web application
    3. if you activate feature from timer job somehow, you will need to modify owstimer.exe.config
    4. if you activate feature form powershell, most probably you will need to modify or create powershell.exe.config, but I didn't try it
    The most simple way which will work in all cases is to configure WCF proxy programmatically. See the following forum thread for details:
    How can I set an HTTP Proxy (WebProxy) on a WCF client-side Service proxy.
