Only Upgrade solution works!

Question

We are having a weird issue. None of our WSPs (MOSS 2007 and 2010) work first time they are deployed. We noticed that upgrading solution (after deploying) works.

Our WSPs normally replace user controls in layouts folder. Any ideas why this is happening?

Answer 1

Maybe adding "stsadm -o execadmsvcjobs" as your last step in the initial deployment will fix the issue. It will execute the administrator timer jobs immediately.
