Error: Cannot uninstall Language Pack 0 because it is not deployed when attempting to uninstall-spsolution on sharepoint foundation

-
Hi,

While doing deployment on servers, I was encountered with the error "Update-SPSolution : Cannot uninstall the LanguagePack 0 because it is not deployed." In order to solve this issue do the following steps:

Find the exact cause: Check the farm solutions by navigating Central Administration >System Settings > Manage farm solutions and you must see error in front of your solution name. There may be multiple reasons why this error came. Error description might help you to find the exact solution. In my case it was saying access denied to few files. I removed the "Read only" attribute from those files.

Resolution: Uninstall/Remove the solution using "Uninstall-SPSolution -Identity <wsp solution file name>".

Next Add solution again using: "Add-SPSolution -Identity <wsp solution file name>".

Now intall it again using :"Install-SPSolution -Identity <wsp solution file name> -GACDeployment -Force".

In case, you get any error doing above steps then last option is go to services.msc stop and restart the SharePoint Timer service and the SharePoint Administration service.

Then run the power shell command again. this time the WSP got updated.

Happy SharePointing :)!!!

    If you're getting the error when using Uninstall-SPSolution, why would you expect Uninstall-SPSolution to work? That's what's causing the problem!

    Also, "A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Identity'.

    SharePoint is ass.

Hide Ribbon on SharePoint 2013 using CSS

Hi Guys, I recently experienced the migration from SharePoint 2010 to 2013. I was earlier hiding Ribbon using the SPSecurityTrimmedControl and CSS. But in SP 2013 MS has divided whole ribbon in two section: s4-ribbonrow and suiteBar Hiding the ribbon is as much as easier as it was in 2010 version. But here we just need to take care of above two mentioned sections. I have gone thorough some of the blogs where people are saying that we have change the html file(Seattle.html or oslo.html) and design manger will take care of creating master page for you (ref: Hide Ribbon ). But there is another traditional way of doing same, follow the given steps: 1) Open the master page file in the SharePoint designer. 2) Add the style tag to hide the ribbon for all the user: #s4-ribbonrow, #suiteBar { display : none; } 3) Now we have to do some more changes so that at least system account can access the ribbon. Find out the <div id="s4-ribbonrow"> tag. 4) Insert the following code insi

Hi, In my previous post( Creating and configuring Search service application ) I explained how to configure the search service application and its configuration. We can also search the external sites content using the SharePoint search just by creating new content source. Follow the given steps to create the new content source for external site. To get to the Manage Content Sources page Verify that the user account that is performing this procedure is a service application administrator for the Search service application. On the Home page of the SharePoint Central Administration Web site, in the Application Management section, click Manage service applications . On the Manage Service Applications page, click Search Service Application . On the Search Administration Page, in the Crawling section, click Content Sources .                     After clicking on the link you will be redirected to the page where all the available content sources are displayed.                    To
