I created a visualwebpart for list Employee details. Created a web part page template with the following steps:

  1. Created a module named WebPartPageTemplate
  2. Renamed Sample.txt to WebPartPageTemplate.aspx
  3. Cleaned all the text from WebPartPageTemplate.aspx
  4. Copied the markup of Application page from another Visual Studio instance to WebPartPageTemplate.aspx.
  5. Modified the page directive, and added extra register for WebPartPages.

  6. Added markup for WebPartZone in the main content.

  7. Modified the module's Element.xml to add instance of this template.

When I build and deploy this application I get a deployment error:

Error 1 Error occurred in deployment step 'Activate Features': Failed to instantiate file "WebPartPageTemplate.aspx" from module "WebPartPageTemplate": The specified list does not exist.

What could be this error all about? Any help on this is highly appreciated.
