I encounterd a confusing error today when I was about to deploy a bunch of webparts in a Sharepoint MOSS farm. Stsadmin gave me the following error message for the command “stsadm -o AddSolution -filename ReportBroker.CAB”:
“reportbroker.cab” has an unsupported extension, and cannot be added to the solution store.

I found the answere to the problem on this blog. Apparently stsadm supports “.cab” but not “.CAB”. I have no idea why I had the extension in upper case from the start…
