title: SharePoint file provisioning not working
body: <p>I have created a feature in Visual Studio, using WSPBuilder to build the .wsp file, which contains some aspx files that need to be copied to the _layouts folder. I created the 12 hive structure in my project, copied all the xml files (feature.xml for example) to the right subfolders, put the aspx files in the right place and built the .wsp file.</p>
  
  <p>When I deployed and activated the feature, the aspx files were copied to the _layouts folder and all was well. Then, for no reason, SharePoint did was it does best and stopped working. Now, whenever I deploy the feature and activate it, I notice that none of the aspx files are copied to the _layouts folder. I can't see any messages in the log file which point to a problem.</p>
  
  <p>Here is my feature.xml file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;Feature  Id="3263C427-F0FA-4cad-8C7F-459F31E36D34"
            Title="Test"
            Description="Test"
            Version="1.0.0.0"
            Hidden="FALSE"
            Scope="Web"
            DefaultResourceFile="core"
            xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/"&gt;
    &lt;ElementManifests&gt;
      &lt;ElementManifest Location="CustomActions.xml" /&gt;
      &lt;ElementManifest Location="module.xml" /&gt;
    &lt;/ElementManifests&gt;
  &lt;/Feature&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The CustomActions.xml contains some links that are created on the list settings page on a site, so that it being processed fine. The problem is 'module.xml':</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?&gt;
  &lt;Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/"&gt;
    &lt;Module Name="Page1" Url="_layouts"&gt;
      &lt;File Url="Page1.aspx" Type="Ghostable" /&gt;    
    &lt;/Module&gt;
    &lt;Module Name="Page2" Url="_layouts"&gt;
      &lt;File Url="Page2.aspx" Type="Ghostable" /&gt;
    &lt;/Module&gt;
  &lt;/Elements&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can't spot what I've done wrong here - in fact, the whole deployment has been working fine with the above files, so I'm just baffled as to why it's stopped working. I did the usual of re-tracing my steps and thinking whether I had done something to cause this, but I haven't.</p>
  
  <p>If anyone has had previous experience of this happening to them, and can give me some tips, then that would be great. Until then, I'll keep trying to get this working, and wondering why, for such a popular platform, SharePoint is more flakey then a teenager with dandruff.</p>
  
  <p>Cheers.
