Special Cases Related to SharePoint-Side Plugin Installation

System Check: Administration Service Not Started

You may encounter a problem with the check for the Administration Service (see red X below) while attempting to install the SharePoint-side plugin.

Please ensure you are logged into the SharePoint server as an Administrative account and execute the following steps.

System Check: You do NOT have permission to install and deploy SharePoint solutions!

You may encounter a problem (red X) indicating "You do NOT have permission to install and deploy SharePoint solutions!" This appears to happen on systems running Microsoft Windows Server 2008.

If you encounter this problem, please abort the current installation. Next, run the installation again by right-clicking Setup_Jive.SharePoint.exe, then clicking Run as Administrator.

Upgrade Deployment Error: Cannot deploy solution Jive.SharePoint.wsp

When performing an upgrade of the SharePoint-side plugin, you need to uninstall the old version then install the new version. However, the uninstall may not completely remove all components, causing the subsequent install to fail with the error, "Upgrade Deployment Error: Cannot deploy solution Jive.SharePoint.wsp."

To remove the remaining components and install properly:

  1. Log into each web front end on the SharePoint farm as an administrator and complete the following steps:
    1. Go tot a command prompt and type IISSRESET /stop.
    2. Open up Windows Explorer to the Global Assembly Cache (GAC). This is typically C:\windows\assembly. Remove all files that begn with "Jive.SharePoint" by highlighting the file and pressing Delete. Refresh Windows Explorer and ensure that there are no more files that start with "Jive.SharePoint" in the GAC.
    3. From a command prompt, type IISRESET /start
  2. Perform the manual installation as discussed in Manually Installing the SharePoint-side Plugin. You may have to perform the deployment steps using stsadm as discussed in the documentation.
