title: Web Application Feature Not Activated By Default
body: <p>All that I'm trying to do is deploy a simple web application-scoped feature that is activated automatically when you install it. Just to make sure that none of our corporate customizations were doing anything weird I even created a simple test web application feature and built it with WSP builder, but I still get the same results - the feature installs fine but is NOT activated by default. I've also set "AutoActivateInCentralAdmin" to true but it does nothing. Is this something that can even be done or am I wasting my time? Here is my feature XML:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?&gt;
  &lt;Feature Id="21003D96-D88E-42ed-AF97-2C4C22BFA3CF"
        Title="Test Web Application Feature"
        Description="I should be activated by default."
        Version="1.0.0.0"
        Scope="WebApplication"
        Hidden="false"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/"
        ActivateOnDefault="true"
        AutoActivateInCentralAdmin="true"
        AlwaysForceInstall="true"&gt;
  &lt;/Feature&gt;
  </code></pre>
