Fix SharePoint Error Msg “Feature xxx for list template yy not installed in this farm”
This common SharePoint error message occurs many times when removing some content types or features from SharePoint. If this error occurs the SharePoint menu isn’t displayed. It’s quite stupid work to find out which list is the reason for the error.
To solve this error and to repair the site menu the list which is the reason for this error message must be changed. In general a missing content type which is used by a list is missing. It’s quite hard to find out which list contains the specific content type, because the error message only contains a template Guid but no name of the content type.
I found a small tool which automatically checks all lists in the site and is able to fix damaged lists: SharePoint List Instance fix tool
The tool is very small and very fast and solves the problem immediately.
