Answered Farm Solution Deployment stuck with "Deploying scheduled at..."

    I have added a solution (.WSP) file with Add-SPSolution, and then using Install-SPSolution to force deployment (I had a separate problem using the "Deploy solution" in Central Admin).

    I am left with the message, "Deploying scheduled at..." and nothing seems to happen, even after an hour or more.

    There have been other posts desribing this that i have read, but they all seem to revolve around restarting the SharePoint 2010 Timer service (with one or two commenters saying that this did not help them).  I have restarted the service, and have also done an IISRESET, but to no avail.

    I checked the Timer Job definitions, and a once-off job definition is created to deploy the solution.  But, it is never run (not even to fail).

    I would appreciate any suggestions as to what to do to investigate or solve this problem.

    Check all servers to make sure that SharePoint Web Services System application pool is up and running.

    Thanks

    Hello,

    Check if the timer job is running properly across all the sharepoint servers.

    I was referring to the application pool in IIS.

    The solution is to use good old STSADM (-o deploysolution)  to deploy the solution, using the -Force AND the -Local switches.  the PowerShell command (Install-SPSolution) has only the -Force, but not he -Local switch.
