Solution deploys without errors, creates lists, but I can't see workflows

Question

I am new to SharePoint and .Net development, sorry if answer for my question is obvious.

I've created a solution, pack it to the WSP package and deploy. It deploys without errors, creates all lists, but I can't see my workflows. When I deploying it from VS2010 all works fine. Log contains many rows, but it seems that there is no suspicious, may be except:

Am I right, that I don't have to do any additional steps for deploying workflows (for example, manual registration workflow, etc.), if it work when I deploying it from VS, it must work when I deploying it from WSP package?

Do you have any suggestions, where is the problem?

Any help is very appreciated.

PS: SharePoint 2010, there are some InfoPath forms in the solution.

Answer 1

when you create workflow project through VS2010, your first step is setup of list that should be associated with a workflow, it is an instruction for VS2010 how to associate workflow with a list for debug. The package itself does not have any information about this relationships. Thus if you deploy solution through powershell or stsadm you should associate your workflow by hand.
