SharePoint 2007 SP2 – Unable to activate Standard feature
Since I’ve hit this issue twice now, thought I’d drop a post for myself so I don’t have to Google yet again for it.
Problem: Unable to activate publishing and standard features in a site. This occurs whether activating the features manually or via content deployment.
Solution: Re-install Service Pack 2 and any applicable Cumulative Updates using the standalone installation packages.
Cause: If the IIS Role is added by SharePoint setup, the Service Pack is not applied correctly.
Symptoms:
- Unable to activate Publishing feature
- Unable to activate Standard feature
- File Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.dll in <12 hive>\ISAPI has the wrong version number
Environment:
- SharePoint 2007 SP2 (slipstreamed)
- Windows 2008 and 2008 R2
