when running spmetal.exe for generating entity classes for SP it is giving error----
feature "a95fc532-8b39-49a4-b044-f9209c26d794" for a list template is not installed in this farm. could not complete this operation.

i want to query the SP list using LINQ. so in cmd prompt i moved to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN. then i ran the command SPMetal.exe /web:http://YOURSITE /code:SiteEntities.cs
it gave error -- feature "a95fc532-8b39-49a4-b044-f9209c26d794" for a list template is not installed in this farm. could not complete this operation.

I found the feature with the above guid in wss content database. the feature is not found in db.

I disabled the feature using powershell it not gave any error, when again i try to enable/activate it gave error -- feature is not a farm level feature and not found in site level.

Your help would be appreciated.

Would you like to explain a bit more what happen? Adding the piece of the code triggering the error won't be bad.

I think he explained it the best he could the first time, as he just copied and pasted his first QA.

The problem is that spmetal.exe is not using the wss content database, it is using the other farm database, which has a number of list templates, just not feature "a95fc532-8b39-49a4-b044-f9209c26d794" for a list template that is not installed in this farm. He wants to use that feature, but it is not on the list of lists.
