WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, run the Stsadmn command at a command prompt. To do this, follow these steps:

Use an account that has administrative permissions to log on to the computer that is running SharePoint Server 2007 Beta 2 Technical Refresh.
Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
At the command prompt, change to the \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN directory.
At the command prompt, type the following commands. Press ENTER after you type each command:
Stsadm -o deactivatefeature -name deployment -url URL
Stsadm -o deactivatefeature -name migration -url URL
Stsadm -o activatefeature -name deployment -url URL
Stsadm -o activatefeature -name migration -url URL
