Error occurred in deployment step 'Add Solution': A feature with ID **************** has already been installed in this farm. Use the force attribute to explicitly re-install the feature.

This is the obvious issue while deploying a sharepoint solution from visual studio . This is simple to fix .

  1. Open visual studio  and double click on feature

3. Do the same thing for all the features in the solution and deploy. It will work like charm !!!
