If you&rsquo;re trying to deploy a feature and get the unhelpful error: “Error occurred in deployment step ‘Activate Features&rsquo;: Object not set to an instance of an object” check the <strong>scope</strong> of the feature that you&rsquo;re trying to deploy. I added a new feature to a project that had another working feature. Both were calling the Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Feature assembly but only one was failing and it was only after a lot of messing about that it turned out to be this innocuous little setting.</p>
