Install-SPSolution : This solution contains resources scoped for a Web application and must be deployed to one or more Web applications. - Planning Deployment of Farm Solutions for SharePoint 2013

Hello folks,

SharePoint 2013 allows users to run sites in SharePoint 2010 mode. That would be possible only with PowerShell command:

Install-SPSolution –Identity Solution.wsp –GACDeployment –CompatibilityLevel {14,15}

Install-SPSolution -Identity Solution.wsp –WebApplication http://localhost/ –GACDeployment –CompatibilityLevel {14,15}

The deployment was successful however I had done lots of branding (masterpages, page layouts, css..) so those seems corrupted while activating the features...

This failed for me.
