Sharepoint 2010 error while deploying solution - This solution contains no resources scoped for a web application

Error:
This solution contains no resources scoped for a web application and cannot be deployed to a particular web application

Fix that worked for me:
stsadm and powershell commands were giving me the above error and I went to central admin site and manually deployed the solution.
Go to Central Admin -> System Settings -> Farm Management -> Manage Farm solutions -> Select the solution you want to deploy and finally deploy
