I am trying to activate a feature on our production MOSS server, all I get is a file not found exception.

Feature works great in test environment. What can it be?

A: 

Has your feature file been deployed to the production server's file system?

Used a WSP Package to ship the feature.

Are there platform differences between test and production? Maybe one is 32 bit and the other is 64 bit?
@drivendevelopment: This 32/64-bit *shouldn't* matter.

A: 

You can use a tool such as Process Monitor to discover exactly which file is not found. This will give you some clues.

I've experienced this problem when deploying a solution to a server with an over-eager virus scanner. This blocked use of the temp directory which was needed for extracting files from the WSP file.

The solution that worked. Delete and recreate the site.
