This solution contains no resources scoped for a web application and can not be retracted from a particular web application

While retracting/ deploying  sharepoint solution using visual studio or stsadm command you might have got following errors , such as

1.If you are using

 "'Retract Solution': C:\Windows\Temp\solution-b254f31c-6d03-41c0-869c-e0755c54a1e0\SOLUTION.wsp could not be created because the contents could not be found under id fc52e867-4f3f-4d65-a348-2406fd83635e in the configuration database."

2.If you are using stsadm command

"This solution  contains no resources scoped for a web application and can not be retracted from a particular web application"

 The above two errors are belonging to represent the same issue. This issue occurs because of improper activation of the feature. When you deployed the same solution or some other solution on the site, it might have given  you the message as 'deployed successfully', but might not have activated feature properly. In order to fix this issue use the following stsadm command and retract and remove those solution which cause the issue

stsadm -o retractsolution -name "SOLUTIONNAME.wsp" -local  
This will retract the solution . Remove the solution and start deploying your current solution.

Happy SharePointing


This may help some one
