Julie,

Which version of the SharePoint Site Recycle Bin are you using? Additionally can you provide the product build number you are deploying to?

I am getting a similar error when I create a new site collection.

I have installed the version for WSS 3.0 and SharePoint 2007 following the installation documentation as instructed.

In Central Administartion the feature appears to be activated.

However, when I try to create a new site collection I get the same error message as above (but with different GUID) in the browser window.

So I then went back in to central admin, retracted and then deleted the feature, and now I can create new site collections without error.

I have repeated the install twice and each time I get the above error when creating a new site collection.

I have SharePoint Server 2007 + SP2 + WSS 3.0 SP2 + Cumulative update 971538 + hotfix 936008.

Hi
I got same error.
I observed that it happend to the default MS Site collection templates e.g. Team site.
When I choose our customized Site Collection template the site is created, but after you delete the site - Nothing is stored in the backup folder you setup in the Configuration file.
I took a look to the event log and sts log, but no error trace is recorded.

We have MOSS 2007, SP2 version 12.0.0.6529 with following updates:
Project Server 2007 - KB 977028 ,Project Professional 2007 - KB 977266, Project 2007 hotfix package: October 27, 2009 KB 975923, Project Server 2007 hotfix package: October 27, 2009 KB 974990, Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Cumulative Update Server Hotfix Package: October 27, 2009 KB 975002, SharePoint Server 2007 Cumulative Update Server Hotfix Package: October 27, 2009 KB 974988

Cheers, Zdenka

I got the same message. I am using the Sharepoint Recycle Bin for MOSS (2007). I dont see any build info on the download page nor in the zip file.

I get the same error. Once I've installed the .wsp (which installs fine), creating subsequent sites produces the error. I've tried de- and reinstalling to no avail.

Encountered the same error when attempting to globally deploy the WSS v3 version of the solution. The farm is on version 12.0.0.6529 according to the Servers in Farm page in the Central Admin site, and is WSS v3 + Search Server Express 2008.

The error message I received is identical to the one reported here, and is visible when I attempt to deploy the solution both from in the Central Admin site and through STSADM. There are no timer jobs shown related to the deployment process, and the deployment still fails after a run of STSADM's EXECADMSVCJOBS operation.

I'm experiencing the same issues. I did a fresh install and am recieving the error:

I have the same issue, but more importantly I cannot retract the Feature. When I try to retract, I get:

I also have deployed this Sharepoint Site Recycle Bin and getting the below error message when trying to create a new site collection and also when trying to deactivate the feature:

I'm using WSS 3.0 (v12.0.6425.1000) running on Win2k3 SE with SP2. I just recently downloaded the SharePoint Site Recycle Bin.

This has been resolved in the latest released added 2/3/2011.
