@Ravi: Do you have the stack trace of your exception? That might make it easier to find out what's going on.

Thanks for the reply Waldek.

I am getting error on solution.Deploy().

I figure out one thing and that is when I deploy my code on central admin site it works fine but its not working on web application other then Central Admin.

I have created web part which deploys solution.

@Ravi: Running with elevated privileges would decrease your permissions so it's definitely not something that would help you. Which line of code throws the exception you mentioned?

@Gan: In the above code sample I used the reference to the Local Server. In multi-server environment you would need to extend this code to check all servers. There is a tool called WaitForWspJob that might help you: http://blog.michelbarneveld.nl/michel/archive/2010/04/05/waitforwspjob-tool.aspx.

Thanks for the post. Will the ExecuteJobDefinitions implementation work in a farm scenario? i.e. will it wait until all jobs on all servers are completed? I am asking because we need to deploy more than one solution programatically and want to make sure that each solution is deployed properly to all servers on the farm before deploying the next solution. Does it even matter?
