Deployment issues with the Nintex Workflow solution package (
The following test solution packages are available from Nintex:
TestingSolutionGlobal.zip: This solution deploys globally; no URL needs to be specified. The solution creates the following file:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\TestingSolutionGlobal.txt
Note: If you don't see the file in the above location, check the path for the SharePoint 2010 hive: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\TestingSolutionGlobal.txt
If Solution 1 does deploy correctly, then please try Solution 2 as well, which is slightly more advanced.
TestingSolutionForWebApps.zip: This solution requires selection of a web application. The solution creates the following file:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\TestingSolutionForWebApps.txt
Note: If you don't see the file in the above location, check the path for the SharePoint 2010 hive: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\TestingSolutionForWebApps.txt
The solution also deploys a file called SimpleSolution.dll to the GAC and adds an entry to the web.config file for the web application as follows:
<SafeControl Assembly="SimpleSolution, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a10b52b9b77b11de" Namespace="SimpleSolution" TypeName="*" Safe="True" />
Note: The SimpleSolution.dll contains no code that executes.
To deploy test solution packages
Download the test solution packages from the following URLs:
http://download.nintex.com/sl/supportfiles/TestingSolutionGlobal.zip
http://download.nintex.com/sl/supportfiles/TestingSolutionForWebApps.zip
Run the following command to add the solutions to the solution store:
stsadm.exe -o addsolution -filename <path to wsp file>
For a mapping of Stsadm operations and their equivalent Windows PowerShell cmdlets, see the following Microsoft TechNet article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff621081.aspx
Deploy the test solution packages from Central Administration. For instructions, see Steps for deploying solutions.
If deployment does not successfully complete with one or more of the test solution packages, the SharePoint environment may have an issue. We suggest contacting Microsoft for additional support with your SharePoint environment.
If deployment successfully completes with both test solution packages, contact Nintex Support.
