Another PowerShell sample - Did my WSP deployment succeed?

$wspfile = "mysolution.wsp"
$sollist = stsadm -o enumsolutions
$xmldoc = [xml]$sollist
$xmlnode = [System.Xml.XmlNode]$xmldoc
#$xmlnode.SelectSingleNode("Solutions/Solution[File='$wspfile']")
$resultElement = $xmlnode.SelectSingleNode("Solutions/Solution[File='$wspfile']/LastOperationResult")
$result = $resultElement.get_InnerXml()
"Deployment Result: " + $result
if ("DeploymentSucceeded" -ne $result) {exit 1}

This script will extract the deployment result string from the XML returned by stsadm for the wsp of interest. The last line is useful if you are using this in a build script. If you are using this interactively, you probably want to change the then clause to something other than an exit statement.

Easier than this

[xml]$sols=stsadm -o enumsolutions;$sols.solutions.solution|?{$_.Deployed -eq "FALSE"}

You don't have to use DOM stuff with PS...it is way cooler

Re: Kirk's one line solution

Won't that show all solutions that did not deploy correctly, not just the one you just tried to deploy?
I don't know my PS syntax well enough yet to know the right way to do this without testing it on the command line, but my guess would be
[xml]$sols=stsadm -o enumsolutions;$sols.solutions.solution|?{$_.File-eq "mysolution.wsp"} |?{$_.Deployed -eq "FALSE"}
