I have a library project and an External Library project, both which build successfully. In fact the application that uses these runs successfully on one server. These projects were built on an NWDI Track and there is an activity for each (Create Library and Create External Library). Both activities are checked in and available in the activation view.
I first tried to activate the External Library as it has no predecessors. The build was successful but the activation failed. I thought maybe I needed to activate them at the same time so I tried to activate the Create Library - it has one predecessor (Create External Library) - I selected Activate with all Predecessors. Still Fails.
This is what the activation log says:

So I can understand there is a problem - but the activities are checked in and I cannot modify them so I am unsure how to fix this issue. I thought maybe create a new activity and just checkin the project from scratch but that isn't an option as these are always seen as predecessors. I really need to get these activated and released to the next server so any tips are appriciated.
