Hi Waldek,

When i am trying to create the list instance based on my custom list definition, it throws error: \\\'invalid file name\\\'. THis is when it tries to access the schema file from the feature folder.

This problem occurs also when we import the list from site template wsp.

The schema file is located at-14hive/features/<my feature>/files.

@Rene: Is running the SharePoint Solution Generator from VSeWSS a possible alternative for you? Then we could check if it's something wrong with SharePoint or something else.

Hi Waldek,

I'm trying to use your list export utility and it worked fine for one of my lists, but having an issue with another. Using the CMD

stsadm.exe -o ocdexportlist -url http://dmsharept/fin/Lists/ -name "Pending WF Requests" -dir c:\temp

I get the error:

The following error has occured while exporting the MOSS 2007 list:
The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0×80070002)

I was thinking it was due to the "" around the list name (due to the spaces) but when I removed them it treated that as an invalid CMD line format/argument.

Teh list I'm trying to export is a Task List…should that make a difference? Any ideas on why this is failing?

Thanks

rene

@Riccky: same as you would with any other WSP. First you run stsadm -o addsolution in the Command Prompt and then in the Central Administration deploy the Solution.

@Perry: the Imtech project contains many different tools. Not all of them ship with source code. Why would you like to have the source code if I may ask?

Where is the source code? I found the project on codeplex. I checked the tab for source code, and it says there are no change sets. There is a downloadable zip for a DeploymentSteps project, but it looks like the wrong source code?

Thanks for any help.
