After you have installed the solution you need to deploy it to web applications for the content to be available. To do so, use the “STSADM -o deploysolution” command.

Type any of these commands in a command console to see other parameters.

You need to uninstall and reinstall the solution to add new files.

Rename them to .cab and you can open them with a zip tool and extract the contents. You can then make edits and repackage to modify a template file.

You can also check if a feature is activated by checking the Features collection for the same GUID value:

Guid g = new Guid(”d2b48bc4-9d29-4090-960c-79c2852cfd65″);
if (web.Features[g] == null) web.Features.Add(g);

To activate features on the Farm level you must add the GUID to the SPWebApplication.WebService object. the SPWebApplication class is in the Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration namespace:

SPWebApplication app = web.Site.WebApplication;
app.WebService.Features.Add(g);
