I am attempting to deploy a web application on a local IIS machine (IIS 8.0) via msdeploy.exe from a command line.
When I run from the command line:
"%ProgramFiles%\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy V3\msdeploy.exe"
-verb:sync -source:package=Training.Mvc.Web.zip -dest:auto
-setParam:name="IIS Web Application Name",
value="D:\Release\WebSites\Training" -verbose
I get:
Error: A value for the 'setAclUser' setting must be specified when the 'setAcl'
provider is used with a physical path.
Error count: 1.
I have tried setting the setAclUser after the dest:auto, but that didn't work.
Considering my comment seemed to have done the trick, I thought I'd add it as an answer so the question can be marked as answered.
When you deploy to the file system the aclUser cannot be automatically determined, but if you set your destination to the name of the IIS website (which, tbh, this process was designed for) the application pool identity will be used.
