title: Error occurred in deployment step 'Activate Features': Cannot complete this action
body: <p>i'm new on sharepoint 2013:</p>
  
  <p>In my sharepoint solution which is created from visual studio , I created a project that contains the data model of my solution : I put in this project custom fields, custom types as well as custom lists that my solution requires.</p>
  
  <p>then I created 3 features in this project : </p>
  
  <p>The first feature which is <strong>a site scoped feature</strong> contains <strong>all custom types and custom fields</strong> of my solution, its name is <em>Feature_ContentTypes_Fields</em>.</p>
  
  <p>The second feature which is <strong>a Site Scoped feature</strong> contains <strong>all list definitions of my custom lists</strong> <strong><em>( in which I added "its name is Feature_ContentTypes_Fields" as feature activation dependency)</em></strong> , its name is <em>Feature_ListDefinitions</em>.</p>
  
  <p>The last feature which is <strong>a web scoped feature</strong> contains <strong>all list instances of my custom lists</strong> <strong><em>( in which I added "Feature_ListDefinitions" as feature activation dependency)</em></strong> , its name is <em>Feature_ListInstances</em>.</p>
  
  <p><strong><em>Result :</em></strong> </p>
  
  <p>1/ successful build.</p>
  
  <p>2/ failed deploy </p>
  
  <p>Here is the output of visual studio while deploying the solution:</p>
