I have created a custom content type that uses several custom fields that I created in the same project.

When I deploy the content type for the first time it works fine. When I try to deploy subsequent versions it errors out during the deploy from visual studio with:

The field with Id {ef6deded-1c4f-484d-8f5d-98890ebb6d66} defined in feature {45157d10-6480-4311-ad90-f9df4b896f8a} was found in the current site collection or in a subsite.

How can I get around this? Can I not update a custom content type after I have deployed it?

What do you mean by subsequent version? Are you using FEATURE versioning? what's the "Deployment Conflict Resolution" property (VS.NET property window) of Content Type Node? – Ashish Patel Jul 6 '11 at 2:32

Is it correct you didn't install VS2010 SP1? After installation of SP1 I don't think it will happen again. When you're not able to install it now, you can restart Visual Studio and try to deploy the solution again.

Yeah rebooting fixed it. How do I check with Service packs have been installed? – Abe Miessler Jul 6 '11 at 21:58
I guess you have to check the Help->About screen. – Anita Boerboom Jul 7 '11 at 6:11
Yeah, thats where I looked. Didn't see anything one way or the other. Must be SP1 – Abe Miessler Jul 7 '11 at 16:12
