This Solution Contains No Resources Scoped For A Web Application

Install spsolution identity helpdesk wsp webapplication http myserver gacdeployment.

This solution contains no resources scoped for a web application. Sharepoint has the annoying habit of forcing you to deploy globally whenever possible. This solution contains no resources scoped for a web application and cannot be deployed to a particular web application. Remove the allwebapplicaitons and this global solution will be deployed globally to the farm and will be available to all web applicaitons. If the solution has no web application resources it is considered a global solution and does not actually need to target an web applications.

Today i tried to deploy a solution through powershell with the command. When you try to deploy a global solution to a specific url you get the following message. This solution contains no resources scoped for a web application and cannot be deployed to a particular web application 0 solution deployed successfully but web parts not available. This solution contains no resources scoped for a web application and cannot be deployed to a particular web application cause you should be aware of the event receiver should be deployed globally to all web application you shouldn t specify a specific web application scope when deploying the event receiver.
