Trying to install Microsoft Web Farm Framework v2.2 on a Windows 2008 server.
I've already downloaded and installed Web PI v3 after realising v4 is too new to be able to download the Web Farm Framework.
When I run the installer for the Web Farm Framework v2.2 I get the following error:
Web Deployment Tool is a pre-requisite for installing Web Farm Framework. Please install the Web Deployment tool.
The strange thing here is that Web Deploy is already installed (v3.0). So I then try and download v3.5 assuming there is a problem with the current version at v3.
However when I try to install this I get the following error:
Failed to instal Web Platform Installer. Lick OK to use the browser to download installer.
Can anyone help to get this working?
Not sure why it wants me to open another browser window since I just came from a browser to install the extension? So it seems I cannot install something because there is a dependency on something else, yet I can't install that dependency either.
Why is this so difficult and why hasn't Microsoft made this easier to install?
I got this working in the end. Basically you need to just install everything in sequence starting with the Web PI v3 then Web Deploy v2 followed by the Web Farm Framework. It seems there is a dependency on specific versions on each of the required tools. Not sure why it insists on opening a browser window again though.
I just encountered this issue and tried the registry modification which helped me out.
Try changing the registry setting install the module and change the registry back to the original value.
Open Regedit > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InetStp
Edit "MajorVersion" and set the "HexaDecimal" value to 9
Install the WebFarm 2.2 module.
Change the "MajorVersion" back to "HexaDecimal" value of a
Hit F5 while in Regedit
Close Regedit

I am trying to publish my Web App in Visual Studio Professional 2013 but getting the following error
I got the same question asked over here but no useful answer.
Can anyone please help
You probably will be using older version, that was having an issue. refer detail [here]
Install the newer web deployment tool, should work.
which .net version are you using.
check web deploy version. if vs has 2 web deploy version, the vs get confuse to take which version. If it has 2 version, just uninstall vs and then instal it along with web deploy. if the Vs has one 1 web deploy version, you uninstall and install the web deploy. It will rectify your problem i hope.
You can refer This link
Check if version 9.0.0.0 of the assembly is installed in GAC. (from the VS2013 developer command prompt) gacutil /l Microsoft.Web.Deployment. Issues like this have occurred in the past where things worked, then after installing an update (or trying to install one) then reports of missing dlls, like nuget, occur.
The usual course of action is to repair the Visual Studio installation.
There is a problem with your publish profile. Delete the pubxml file located bellow Properties folder in your project and then create a new publish profile.
I got the same problem when older project runs into the new .NET Framework, for that you have to do the following.
Right Click on your project name->select Property Pages -> Click Build from the menu-> then select Target Framework .Net framework 4.5 or your current using framework..
"Could not load file or assembly" means the required file (of that mentioned version) is not available in the assembly (nor in the registry). All you gotta to do is to ensure this same is installed properly that would allow you to proceed further. The other things to ensure is the latest framework installed on your system.
Think you have some errors happen when to install or update Visual 2013, so you can reinstall again and this error will be fixed.
So here's the thing. I recently updated a web project to use nuget for its dependencies, which in turn updated all of those dependencies to the latest versions.
Quite a task as there were some breaking changes, but I have the thing running locally perfectly.
We use TeamCity to pull the solution from bitbucket and deploy it the the local iis folder on a development (staging) server.
After a build, the website seems very poorly, first off it complains:
Could not load file or assembly
'file:///C:\web\Dev.Pegfect.Presentation\bin\mscorlib.dll' or one of
its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an
incorrect format.
Which is strange since my local copy does not have a copy of mscorlib in its web bin folder. Should be using the GAC? If I remove the dll, I get a new error (some NHibernate issue complaining about reflection). I haven't pursued that since it all seems environmental.
If I copy my local bin folder over the server web bin, it starts to run ok albeit extremely slowly (relative to how it used to).
So, the question "what have you tried" - i am currently installing VS 2012 onto the server and will try building the project from source directly. I am also considering updating TeamCity from v7 to v9.
I could also try to reinstall IIS8.0 on the server.
These are desperate, blind shots in the dark. What would you try?
FWIW the project is targeting .NET 4.5.1 (ANY CPU)
OK, so I will leave it here as it might help someone.
So, the project has been building, deploying and running successfully on the server compiled to .NET 4.5.1 with no problem.
The recent packages update moved us from MVC v4 to MVC v5. (amongst other things). Running .NET fix tool suggested 4.5.1 was corrupted, so I downloaded the developer version and installed and now its fine.
I have a dedicated server and I am trying to install MS Web Deploy 3 using the Web Platform Installer running as administrator.
It fails to install with the message:
We're sorry. The following products have failed to install.
**Web Deploy 3.0 - July 2012**
This product did not install successfully: Service 'Web Management Service' (WMSvc)
failed to start.
Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
I have tried running the installer using 'Run As Administrator' but this error comes up each time. Does any one know how I can verify or fix this issue?
Thanks! Sorry for any noobness!
I found a possible answer to this as I wouldn't give up. go to your iis installation and select the server so you get the options, go to management service. you can try checking "Remote Connections" and restarting if that doesn't help, select the certificate you have installed in the ssl certificate dropdown. I was able to install the web deploy software after this.
Having the same problem. Seems to be a problem with Web Deploy v3. I installed Web Deploy v2 without problems. It looks like they both can coexist. Just make sure to change the path for the Web Deploy Agent Service from C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy V3 to C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy V2
I also found a possible answer to this issue. It seems that WebPI doesn't install the IIS Management Service as a dependency for Web Deploy.
After installing IIS Management Service (and re-installing Web Deploy) it began working.
I have a web site project that has been existing for a while - it has been ASP.NET MVC2 based up until right now. .Net 4, Visual Studio 2010 Sp1, deployed to IIS 7.5 running on Win2008 R2.
I have four separate deployment profiles - "alpha", "test", "staging" and "live". Yes, I could probably have come up with better names, but they should hopefully convey what they are for.
It was recently decided to upgrade to MVC3 to take advantage of new awesomeness like Razor, global filter attributes, and start using NuGet etc. So I went on an upgrade binge with the Web Platform Installer. One of the things I updated was the Web Deployment Tool - both my developer machine (where the MVC3 upgrade happens) and the web server got this new version of the tool installed.
Since then, I have not been able to do deployments. I have gone back to earlier versions of my project (thanks to git for allowing me to painlessly go back to any previous version) and tried to deploy them, and they don't work either.
Whenever I try to do a deployment from Visual Studio I get the following error:
Web deployment task failed.((23.05.2011 11:18:24) An error occurred when the request was processed on the remote computer.)
(23.05.2011 11:18:24) An error occurred when the request was processed on the remote computer.
Unable to cast object of type 'Microsoft.Web.Deployment.DeploymentSyncOptions' to type 'Microsoft.Web.Deployment.DeploymentSyncOptions'.
I can see why that cast would be hard. ;)
But seriously - how can we get deployment from Visual Studio to work again? In the future we will do this using our CI server, and install a deployment package using MsBuild automatically on the correct web server depending on the git branch that was updated, but that is some time in the future.
I have full access to both machines so any other information need can hopefully be gathered.
You might be having beta version of web deploy on your box if you have ever installed web platform installer v2 beta. YOu can check that by
gacutil -l Microsoft.web.deployment.
If you see any 7.5.0.0 version then you have a beta version. Uninstall this version. You need to check and change this on both the client as well as the server.
Owais is right - this is very likely because you have a pre-release version installed. Rune can you please check and let me know?
I have a web application which is entirely .net 3.5. I have created a Setup project using the wizard making sure that I selected 3.5 from the targeted famework.
When I have built the setup.exe and the Windows Installer Package and I have tried to install it on a test machine it prompts straight away to download and install the .net framework 4 client profile first.
The end-user doesn't want to upgrade their servers at this time to the latest version of .net.
Any suggestions?
Double click the .msi file, seems to be installing properly. I would also like to know how to avoid this.
