When installing this solution package (via STSADM) I receive the message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object c:\FlexListViewerMOSS.wsp: The solution installation failed. Any clues as to what my problem might be? I also recevied this when I originally installed the webpart (not via the solution) - when I tried to configure it on a page - it found the list I was looking for but produced the above error (thats why I decied to install the solution instead - hoping it would fix the error. Any help appreciated.

Nigel, its highly likely that the user you are logged in with does not have sqldba/admin rights through Windows Authentication on the sqlserver connected to your sharepoint install. That's why most ppl get this error. Regards, S.

I'm using the FlexListViewer webpart to show a Links list on my site. It works great other than when I add this webpart to my site it shows a top toolbar and extra fields that I don't want to show. These fields are 'Type','Edit',"Notes'. Is there a way to hide these fields? Thanks, Stacie

I have added the solution both through the deployment package and manually. I am able to activate but get no web part.

After installing with stsadm go to Central Administration > Operations > Solution Management to deploy the solution.
