Should work - just make sure when you import you leave the box unchecked to activate any processes....

it works like Jason said.
we import the solutions via self developed tool, so there was no way to uncheck the box for activating... but we solved this issue !
thx

As far as i know it is not possible to import a single solution with some activated and some deactivated workflows.

ok, but how can i make it possible? with a plugin or otherwise in c# ?
1. we want to import the solution to several organisations with activated and deactivated workflows.
2. we want to update this organisations, in which we have the activated and deactivated workflows. the workflows which are deactivated should stay deactivated and the workflows which are activated should stay activated :)
it is a bit complicated to explain....
if anyone know a way to solve this, please post it here !
regards Markus

You could create two solutions(1. Activated. 2. Deactivated. ) for your workflows and import these solutions one bye one.
Hope this helps. If you get answer of your question, please mark the response as an answer and vote as helpful !

You need to create two solutions one for activated workflows and second for deactivated workflows
