IIS Web Deploy's "Import/Export Application" Action Missing?
- Go to http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/web-deploy
- Scroll to the bottom of the page to the "Download Web Deploy" header
- Click the x86 or x64 link next to your language of choice. Do not click the WebPI link.
- Once downloaded, click on the installer to open it.
- Click Next
- Click the Remove button
- Now you can reinstall it using the Web Platform Installer, or just use the standalone.
On a side note... If you don't see the Deploy options in IIS once you've reinstalled Web Deploy, try running IIS as Administrator. Hope this helps.
I am running IIS on my development machine on Windows 7. Web Deploy 3.6 seem to break something as the Import / Export Application options are not available. Had to uninstall 3.6 via control panel add/remove programs and then install 3.5 via Web PI.
I've installed Web Deployment Tool 2.1 then restart IIS Manager and the Import/Export Application appeared.
