error adding web part with stsadm

[bambih]

Hi all,



I created a webpart with Visual Studio 2003 .Net. I use the webpart template from Microsoft. I changed the manifest.xml and the correspondig dwp-file for the webpart.

I made a keyfile with "sn" and referenced to it.

Then I made a cab file which contains content files and primary output.

Then I use the stsadm tool and I get the error:

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

Manifst.xml

ANybody an idea?
