Problem:
When I try to deploy my custom wsp solution to a specific web application, I got the error below:
This solution contains no resources scoped for a Web application and cannot be deployed to a particular Web application.
Analysis:

Solution:
After you change the Assembly Deployment Target and run the script again, you will have the solution deployed successfully.
