Hi Phu, have you checked the file it is referring to is there? By default the 12 folder is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\ so the file should be in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\SubmissionList\ folder.

Hi,
When i run the command “stsadm -o installfeature -filename SubmissionList\feature.xml -force” in step 8 of step “Creating a custom submission list definition” I have got an error message “Failed to find the XML file at location ’12\Template\Features\submissionlist\feature.xml’”, please help me to solve this problem, thanks.

@sspb4 what version of SharePoint are you using, also did the site columns and content type show up?

Please ignore my previous comment.
Everything work for me except the fields I add to the list don’t appear in the create form.
I have removed the ContentTypes element altogether in Schema.xml file then its working.
Any ideas why this might be?

Thanks,
Kiran

@kiran – do the fields show in the site columns and site content type galleries (from site actions > site settings) and have you done an iisreset after deployment?
