I was developing a Webpart using WSPBuilder (SharePoint WSP tool) in my new development server (SharePoint 2007, Visual Studio 2008 and Windows 2008 R2) and was trying to deploy the solution then I have got the following error message!

I have checked the “Windows SharePoint Services Timer” on the Windows Services and it was running! I tried to re-build and re-deploy the solution again and I have got the same error message again. 😦

Start –> Administrative Tools –> Services

After spending several minutes and I have found the solution here!

If we want to deploy a solution using WSPBuilder, it needs the Administrative privileges, so we need to run the Visual Studio as Administrator.

That’s it, I was able to deploy the Webpart successfully!
