WSP builder error - User xxxx does not have installation permissions on xxxx server. Preflight requirements failed.

When trying to deploy a package to the server, WSP builder throws an exception

User xxxx does not have installation permissions on xxxx server.
Preflight requirements failed.


Let me tell you, this is not an exception. What it means is you do not the required permissions on the sharepoint server to perform this operation.
You can do these things to fix it.

1. See if you are added to Site collection administrator
2. And the important one, make sure you have permissions at the DB level. You should have permissions on SharePoint_Config Database on the server.

This should fix the problem.
