Even the new instructions to install the templates might as well be in short hand, can somebody please supply a comprehensive install post that does not assume almost everything?

I know you're not going to translate the templates into Russian. But I'd be happy if could do it myself. If you gave me the nessesary resources I would make the translated templates as free as the original versions. Is this possible?

P.S. I've already completed a fully-functional demo site introducing Russian versions of built-in templates as well as original English versions of other free templates. It also uses the self-registration feature so everyone can try any template "live" using his/her own login.

I get an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error when I try to add the applicationtemplatecore.wsp using the stsadm - o addsolution command.

Also, what does step 3 "Select the solution file, ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp, from the extracted distribution". mean? Does this mean that you select the file and copy it somewhere specific, or does it just mean that you note the file name for use in your command line statement?

I'm sure I'm missing something very obvious, but it's pretty frustrating.

Leanne — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 21:21:42 GMT

Hey Mike,

What I did was copy the applicationTemplateCore.wsp file into the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN folder. Then run the command line. Not sure this is the technically correct way for the app to find the file, but it worked for me.

re: Updated Installation Guide for the 20 server admin Application Templates for WSS 3.0

Mike H. — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 22:50:32 GMT

I'm trying this, too, and keep getting the error:

"ApplicationTemplateCore" does not exist in the solution store.

after the deploysolution step.

Does anyone know what is causing this?

re: Updated Installation Guide for the 20 server admin Application Templates for WSS 3.0

mjhritz — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 23:00:31 GMT

I copied the files to the BIN directory as Leanne states but get the following:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN>stsadm -o addsolution -filename ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp

Operation completed successfully.

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN>stsadm -o deploysolution -name ApplicationTemplateCore -immediate -allowgacdeployment

"ApplicationTemplateCore" does not exist in the solution store.

Where is the solution store? I assumed that it was in the SQL Server, but can't find it there anywhere.

We have a standalone WSS 3.0 server.

I followed the updated installation guide and it worked without a hitch.

I didn't even have to run steps 7 and 8 to install the server admin application templates.

I followed the included readme_stp to install the .stp files without an issue either.

re: Updated Installation Guide for the 20 server admin Application Templates for WSS 3.0

MadMike — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 03:26:43 GMT

My problem was that ours is a farm installation and I didn't have appropriate rights to our SQL Server box. Once that was changed, everything installed clean. The documentation does say "Note that in order to complete the following installation, you must have Administrator rights to both the Windows SharePoint Services site and server on which it is to be installed." Perhaps that should be modified to say that in a farm installation, you need rights to the SQL Server database as well.

I've tried everything but I get a very informative "Command line error" error message when I run the first command (ie addsolution). I tried copying the files to the BIN folder, I hve admin privelages, etc, etc...nothing.

So, basically, I'm giving up on these templates. Oh well.

I cannot make sense of step 3 and running step 4 produces syntax error. I have tried to place the WSP file in various locations and specify the path after the -filename including the ..\bin location(no path as others have suggested) without success. is there specific location the ATC.wsp needs to be placed after extraction?

What is the point of selecting something but not doing anything with the file??

For those who get "ApplicationTemplateCore" does not exist in the solution store error, it is supposed to be "ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp". Try the following command

When I add the .WSP Templates to the WSS system, it won't register the template with a Template ID. Like:

SportLeague - Language: 1033 - Site Template: _GLOBAL_#0 - Template Id: 1

I use _GLOBAL_#0 to provision WSS sites. Can this be done? Because when I use "stsadm -addtemplate -filename <template.wsp> -title <Template Title>" I'm getting a Parse error.

re: Updated Installation Guide for the 20 server admin Application Templates for WSS 3.0

How can I give the solutions (.wsp) a Template id like the .SPT files.

SportLeague - Language: 1033 - Site Template: _GLOBAL_#0 - Template Id: 1

TimecardManagement - Language: 1033 - Site Template: _GLOBAL_#1 - Template Id: 1

But the wsp templates are not listed? How can I fix that? Because I want to provision (MPS) the WSS Sites with the template codes.

Well I installed a template. And according to sharepoint it was fully deployed. Even when I look in sharepoint I see that it states that it has been deployed. So I thought well everything is okay, well no. As stated I can now create a new site with this template. So I follow the instructions to create a site with the new template but as soon as I click create it starts ratteling and then I get an error message that has more letter and numbers in it then I can write down. And that is all I can find on the error. Even in the log it just states the error. I just can not find out what the error means. Anyone got any suggestions?

These are the worst instructions I have ever seen.

Point

3. Select the solution file,

[What does this mean? Select the file? Right click? Click on?? Nothing works......]

ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp, from the extracted distribution. This solution file will be added to the Windows SharePoint Services solution store.

[How can it be added if you can't select it??]

4. On the Windows command line,

[Where is this???? Do you mean - Click The Start Button? Then Run? Then Type the Command? Still dosen't work.]

run "stsadm -o addsolution -filename ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp".

As I said - worst instructions ever.

Thank you Bala - my error was "Command line error." but your line worked!!!!

BTW: I had also copied the wsp file(s) to the bin directory and was running the command prompt in bin.

Once again, MS people should be dragged out into the sunlight every few months and forced to breathe real-world air. How farking hard is it to write an instruction set for a *clean* SPS 3 install???

re: Updated Installation Guide for the 20 server admin Application Templates for WSS 3.0

David — Wed, 23 May 2007 16:54:13 GMT

BTW: these were the commands I ended up using (for Core and all the others I added):

stsadm –o addsolution –filename ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp

stsadm -o deploysolution -name ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp -local -allowGacDeployment

stsadm -o copyappbincontent

And in case you didn't know, you can do addsolution / deploysolution for all the files, then do copyappbincontent just the once.

James@Lincoln — Fri, 01 Jun 2007 11:33:12 GMT

I've only been doing Sharepoint stuff for about a month now, so I guess I could have a fresh spin on this as I did also struggle....

When it says you have to run the command:

stsadm –o addsolution –filename ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp

What it is taking for granted is that you have added the file path to stsadm.exe into your Envirnmental Variables of windows. To do this follow these steps:

click START>CONTROL PANEL>SYSTEM

on the system properties page click the ADVANCED tab at the top, then at the bottom click ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES.

On the new window (Environment variables funnily enough) under SYSTEM VARIABLES scroll down until you see the entry for PATH. Click PATH and then EDIT underneath it.

Leave the VARIABLE NAME as it is and scroll to the end of the VARIABLE VALUE entry. at the end add the following (including the ; symbol)

;C:\PROGRAM FILES\COMMON FILES\MICROSOFT SHARED\WEB SERVER EXTENSIONS\12\BIN

What this does is let you run any executables in that folder from any other folder in a command line :0)

Hi Guys,

only just tried to follow the instructions today

got the "command line error" and googled to this blog to find a solution. Having read to the bottom, the penny dropped: the original instructions must have been typed up in Word with "Replace Hyphens(-) with dashes" selected in the Autocorrect Options.

When the command was pasted into the command prompt window, the ascii codes for (en) dash were unrecognized.

Overtyping them with standard hyphens does the trick

More then likely you are using the wrong command.

when you T-Y-P-E the command stsadm, make sure it is ALL CAPS!

re: Updated Installation Guide for the 20 server admin Application Templates for WSS 3.0

paisleygo — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 22:15:55 GMT

So there are a few issues here:

1. if you are not a developer or a sys admin - which alot of times Sharepoint people are not, you probably don't know about the commandline and directory paths etc... (unless you had a commador 64 as a kid) so the whole thing about the environment variable and having the wsp file in the same directory as the STSADM.EXE file - might be a bit hard to grasp but if you read about environment vars and running batch files you will get it. Basically this is the deal:

The wsp file needs to be in the smae location as the stsadm.exe file and you need to be in the dir where they are when you give the command.

2. There is also the issue with the "typing" the command rather than pasting it. That part is critical - the paste seems to mess up the hyphen character. - So once I fixed all the hyphens in my bat file - things worked great!

Yes the documentation leaves a bit to be desired but it's really more a matter of understanding what you are trying to do.

The first statement

STSADM.EXE -o addsolution -filename ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp seems to be putting the solution into the "store" (whatever that means)

the second statement

STSADM.EXE -o deploysolution -name ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp -immediate -allowgacdeployment

is then deploying that solution - I had to put the full path to my wsp file in the first statement - but NOT in the deploy statement

here is what my bat file looks like:

FOR THE TEPMLATE CORE

STSADM.EXE -o addsolution -filename ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp

STSADM.EXE -o deploysolution -name ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp -immediate -allowgacdeployment

and FOR THE TEMPLATES:

STSADM.EXE -o addsolution -filename wsps\AbsenceVacationSchedule.wsp

STSADM.EXE -o deploysolution -name AbsenceVacationSchedule.wsp -immediate -allowgacdeployment

The wsps\ bit is because I put all the wsp files in a directory named wsps notice that it is missing from the deploy statment - because that one is looking for it by name in the "store"

Hope this helps instead of making it more confusing

You are getting command line error because the %20 is interpreded by the command line as a parameter; instead replace the whole %20 with an space like this:

Finally what helped to us is as following:

1)Download the solution .EXE file to your computer.

2)Run the .EXE file to unpack the template file

to a location on your computer.

Copy ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp file in to

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN location

3)Click on Start

4)Click on Run

5)Type Cmd

6)Type CD C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN

7)Type(Don't paste, that would not work)following command

STSADM.EXE -o addsolution -filename ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp

After following all of the tips, I am still receiving errors. the addsolution operation is not even an option when I request help. There is addpath or addtemplate, but no addsolution. Any ideas?

After reading all the comments and following all the instructions, both the app Template and the Template I am trying to install appear as 'Deployed' in the Solutions Management. When I run the execadmsvcjobs, it Executes and says "Operation completed successfully." However, when I try to create a new site, there is no Application Templates Tab. What should I do? Is this an Enterprise feature? Does it work in the Trial version?

Command Line errors here too, seems pasting command in is nto a good idea, typing them in works. Go MS!! Programming Idiots! They need to work in the real world once in a while.

How do we get the files in the right places if we have a side-by-side install of WSS 2.0 and 3.0 as instructed for SBS 2003? We did as directed and it crashed the 2.0 site.

SharePoint stsadm.exe and the infamous "Command Line Error"

The SharePoint command-line utility stsadm.exe was driving me crazy for the last two days. I'm automating

Please people, don't think it is the difference between STSADM.exe and STSADM.EXE why you have trouble with adding the solution. It also isn't that the .wsp file must be next to the stsadm.exe applicaiton. It is character encoding....

See http://weblogs.asp.net/soever/archive/2007/12/22/sharepoint-stsadm-exe-and-the-infamous-quot-command-line-error-quot.aspx for more information.

making the stsadmin to upper case work for me..

STSADM.EXE -o addsolution -filename ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp

Strange, why case should be a problem in WINDOWS that too in EXE file????

I saw my solution deploying in Central Administration/operation/solution management but it doesn't get deployed. Any idea why is this happening?

PS:I used the deploy cmd line already.

For everyone receiving the OBJECT REFERENCE error, I have a solution that worked for me...

It seems the user running the STSADM command MUST have full control access to the ADMIN_CONTENT database on the SQL server. I had our SQL admin grant my domain user account full control privs on the Admin Content database and reran the script and all subsequent stsadm.exe command lines successfully!

Must have been a Linux developer wrote STSADM

It's case sensitive for the executable.

Must have been a Linux developer wrote STSADM.

STSADM.EXE -o addsolution -filename ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp

I saw some questions related to my problem but didn't find any answer. I am having problem with the addsolution operation since it is not a known operation for stsadm.exe. Any idea?

thanks in advance.

It is case sensitive and after deploying the templates it should be activated at Site Action > Site Administration > Site features....

But I have one more question. How to get User Login Name in Form Authenticated site using WSS object model. I am getting the login name in SPUserCollection, but not the logged-user Name.

It's a copy paste thing

If you paste from the readme file it will include characters that are not proper ASCI, either copy it from notepad then paste into run before copying again, or type it manually.

"addsolution" is not a valid option for my stsadm.exe, STSADM.exe or STSADM.EXE file. Of course they're all the same file. ;)

I have "addalternatedomain", "addpath", "addtemplate", "adduser", "addwppack" and "addzoneurl" but "addsolution" is not part of my particular exe file according to its own help statement.

how is it that MY fresh install of SBS2003 and subsequent upgrade to Sharepoint 3.0 doesn't have a /12/ directory either? Mine is /60/bin/ to find the stsadm.exe file.

why oh why must MY installations always be THE EXCEPTION? WTF where is my /12/ directory? I have /50/ and /60/. nothing more.
