Hi All,
I am using Virtual box to connect to Sharepoint 2013 VPC. Due to an unexpected sutdown of my machine the VPC got some issue. Now I restored it using my bak up file. But after this when I deploy my sharepoint 2013 farm solution Iam getting the following error.

Editing the web.config and adding dependentAssembly didnt worked for me.
What could be the issue? Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
Please try to do as follows:
1. Check your farm solution whether reference the Microsoft.SharePoint.dll. Or try to add the Microsoft.SharePoint.dll into the bin folder.
2. Execute the iisreset command.
3. Create a new farm solution and check whether the issue still occurs or not.

Error occurred in deployment step 'Recycle IIS Application Pool'

Currently i’m working on a development machine for SharePoint 2010. Even the development machine is setup with multiple accounts as security describes. Therefore sometimes you run into strange (security) error messages. The following error message
occured when i tried to deploy a SharePoint project from Visual Studio 2010.
Error occurred in deployment step ‘Recycle IIS Application Pool’:
<nativehr>0×80070005</nativehr><nativestack></nativestack>Access denied
It seems that the account under which your Visual Studio 2010 is running needs to have sufficient rights on the web application to which you are deploying your solution. In my case this was easily fixed by putting my domain account in the site collection
administrators list for that specific web application.

Hi vishal,
The root cause of the issue is
You don't have IIS restart privilege on windows OS
Even if you have it, you have not added your login account in to SharePoint sitecollection administrator.
To solve the issue
To see whether you have privilege or not, you can open a command prompt and type "IISReset".
If you able to restart, then it will restart successfully otherwise it will deny it. The reason is, Though you are in administrators group, windows 2008 will not run on the administrator privilege. Every time when you do an operation like IIS
restart or Installation, it will prompt for UAC (User Account Control). You should accept the dialog box and elevate the privilege to run the operation.
Or you can right click the application whatever you want to run and click the menu option "Run as Administrator" which will solve the issue.
If you want to avoid UAC and directly run through you admin account then, go to Control panel -> Manage account -> Hide UAC
Second if you have all the privilege and still you are getting error in VS2010 as "'Recycle IIS Application Pool':0x80070005Access denied, then you have to add your account in to site collection admin.
1) You can do this by going to sharepoint administration page.
2) Navigate to the site collection administration option
3) Add your name into site collection administrator as a second owner. SharePoint will allow a second owner for site colleciton

Error occurred in deployment step 'Recycle IIS Application Pool': Object reference is not set to an instance of a object.

Hello,
When I do a deploy from VS2012 I get the error above.
Specifications:
- User is Farm Admin
- User is Site Collection Admin
- User is added with full control to the Web application user policy
- User is db_owner of the content db, config db, admin content db
- User Access Control is disabled

- User is a member of WSS_ADMIN_WPG
- host name is added to the host file.
Somebody has a solution?

almost you have everything, did you try to close the visual studio and start "Run as administrator". if not do it and try to redeploy.
I would also check if the Sharepoint Timer Services and Sharepoint administration Services running on all sharepoint server(via services console.)

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.

Please try giving permissions
pen the SharePoint 2010 Central
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
You can grante permissions in "SITE ACTIONS > SITE PERMISSIONS"

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".

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.

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 'Retract Solution': The solution does not have a WSP file associated with it." occurs while deploying from Visual studio

HI,
I get this error "Error occurred in deployment step 'Retract Solution': The solution does not have a WSP file associated with it. " when deploying my project from visual studio 2010 to
SharePoint 2010 site. I tried restarting IIS, but it didn't help. This application used to work fine until the server crashed during the deployment process. All the other applications on the same server works fine also. Any ideas how to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance,
AM

Hi
AM ,
Thank you for your posting!
According to your error message, it says your solution does not have a WSP file associated with it. Take a look at the file system. After you Right Click -> Deploy Solution on the VS Solution, there
should be a .wsp file at <Solution Directory>\bin\<debug|release>.
Also the error can be occurring when the developer try to deploy solutions over pre-existing solutions with material changed in the solution. Go to your Central Administration Site and then
Operations and then Solution Management. Make sure that there not already a solution with the same name deployed or installed there. If there is, remove it and try deploying again.
And you could look in logs and find if there is a below error in ULS log (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS).
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Best Regards,
Eric

Checked all the file names for any special characters but could not find one.
Recycled the application pool--no use
Checked the wsp file--it doesnt have any duplicate files.
If anyone can help me with this ,it would be great.Spent one whole day to fix this but couldn't achieve anything.
Thanks !

You can use:
$provider = Get-SPClaimProvider | where {$_.DisplayName -eq "Provider DisplayName"}
$mgr = Get-SPClaimProviderManager
$mgr.ClaimProviders.Remove($prov)
$mgr.Update()
