I'm developing a three level workflow to MOSS 2007, I published it to our test environment with stsadm installfeature and activatefeature and it works perfectly.
I followed this article to publish the new workflow.
After the test session I tried to publish it to the live environment which is the same environment, and the new workflow is visible inside the Site Settings > Site Feature (Status is Active), but won't show inside the Site Settings > Site Collection Workflows.
I don't know what is the problem, because on the test environment everything works fine.
Some informations about the system: Windows 2003 server Sharepoint (MOSS 2007 with SP3) Visual Studio 2008
Thanks for the help!
I report this problem to MS Offical Support and after a few days and some phone calls they solved my problem.
I made a big mistake, I generated a new GUID for the Feature Id attribute, but I forgot to generete new GUID for the Workflow Id and it causes the error, because there were two WF with the same GUID. After I changed it, it started to work well.
