SharePoint: "Failed to extract the cab file in the solution"

I'm receiving a "Failed to extract the cab file in the solution" error when I try to deploy my wsp using stsadm -o addsolution -filename...

I've open the wsp as a cab and checked that there are no duplicate files in there as I understand that can sometimes cause this issue.

The issue only started when I tried to include a custom field type as part of my solution, to do this I added the following to the ddf

..\CustomFields\ShortMonth\ShortMonthControl.ascx ..\CONTROLTEMPLATES\ShortMonthControl.ascx

..\CustomFields\ShortMonth\fldtypes_shortmonth.xml ..\XML\fldtypes_shortmonth.xml

and

<TemplateFiles>

<TemplateFile Location="CONTROLTEMPLATES\ShortMonthControl.ascx"/>

<TemplateFile Location="XML\fldtypes_shortmonth.xml"/>

</TemplateFiles>

to the manifest.

I've tried taking it back to just references to the ascx in both but it doesn't see to help.

Any ideas?

  • Do you need the "..\" in your DDF?
