Question

Is it possible to build/package a .wsp on a machine with Sharepoint 2010 Enterprise Edition (DEV machine) and deploy it to a machine with Sharepoint 2010 Standard Edition (PROD machine) installed?

Was it helpful?

Solution

The WSP package will not change depending on which edition of SharePoint is installed on the Development machine. So if you take the same visual studio project and package it on a machine with Foundation, Standard or Enterprise the WSP will be identical.

BUT by developing (and testing) on a machine which has a more advanced edition than the PROD farm you run the risk of not catching that you include dependencies on that advanced edition into your development.
