I am using VSeWSS 1.3 to create a custom list definition scoped to ‘Site’.

    <Elements Id="8924acef-84ef-4584-ade4-e3eaeb8df345" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">

  <ListTemplate Name="MyListDefinition"
                DisplayName="MyList"
                Description=""
                BaseType="0"
                Type="10888"
                OnQuickLaunch="TRUE"
                SecurityBits="11"
                Sequence="410"
                Image="/_layouts/images/itgen.gif" />

  <CustomAction
    Id="MyList.Print"
    Location="Microsoft.SharePoint.StandardMenu"
    GroupId="ActionsMenu"
    Title="Print MyItem"
    Description="Print Empty copies of this form."
    RegistrationType="List"
    ControlAssembly="MyList, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=de6e0316a726abcd, processorArchitecture=MSIL"
    ControlClass="MyList.PrintActionMenu" />

  <Module Name="ActionPages" Url="">
    <File Url="PrintForm.aspx" Type="Ghostable" Path="MyListDefinition\PrintForm.aspx" />
  </Module>
</Elements>

The file ‘PrintForm.aspx’ is correctly installed on the server under …\12\TEMPLATE\Features… , but it doesn’t show up under the expected URL http://localhost/site/lists/listname/PrintForm.aspx after installing the list template and creating a new list instance using this template.

I suspect I am missing the correct properties in the and/or tags in my ListDefinition.xml file (shown above).

    You should also have a schema.xml and in the schema.xml there should be something like this:

    <Forms>
  <Form Type="DisplayForm" Url="DispForm.aspx" WebPartZoneID="Main" />
  <Form Type="EditForm" Url="EditForm.aspx" WebPartZoneID="Main" />
  <Form Type="NewForm" Url="NewForm.aspx" WebPartZoneID="Main" />
  ...... your form here
</Forms>

    P.S. try the SharePoint Solution Generator to export an existing List (Comes with VSeWSS), it’ll give you a complete xml definition. You can use that as a reference.

    P.P.S. in the link posted in the comment it states that files should be registered in the feature like so: 

    <ElementFile Location="GenericList\schema.xml" />
<ElementFile Location="GenericList\DispForm.aspx" />
<ElementFile Location="GenericList\EditForm.aspx" /> 
<ElementFile Location="GenericList\NewForm.aspx" /> 
<ElementFile Location="GenericList\AllItems.aspx" />
