I am trying to activate a feature on our production MOSS server, all I get is a file not found exception.

Feature works great in test environment. What can it be?

Are you able to update the question with any more detail as we don't have much to go on here. Can you give a full stack trace? Have you checked the SharePoint ULS and Windows Event logs? – Alex Angas

Has your feature file been deployed to the production server's file system?

You can use a tool such as Process Monitor to discover exactly which file is not found. This will give you some clues.

I've experienced this problem when deploying a solution to a server with an over-eager virus scanner. This blocked use of the temp directory which was needed for extracting files from the WSP file.

The solution that worked. Delete and recreate the site.
