If one of the agent services is not running, restart the Web Deployment Agent Service. Web Deployment Agent Service is running (the service name is different in older versions). (Optional) Verify that Web Deploy is running correctly by opening Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools > Services, and then make sure that: (If you choose Custom instead, you can see the list of components, as shown in the following illustration.) With a complete installation, you get the components you need to generate a publish settings file. Run the Web Deploy installation program, and make sure you select Complete installation instead of a typical installation.
WHOLE NOTE STUDIO DOWNLOAD
On Windows Server, download Web Deploy 4.0.
WHOLE NOTE STUDIO INSTALL
Make sure you also install the Management Service and IIS Management Console (they may be already installed). The scripts and tools are required to enable the generation of the publish settings file. Go to Select server roles > Web Server (IIS) > Management Tools, and then select the IIS Management Scripts and Tools role, click Next, and then install the role. If you did not already install IIS Management Scripts and Tools, install it now. You can directly install Web Deploy 4.0 to create the publish settings file. For more information, see Web Platform Installer - End of support and sunsetting the product/application feed. The Web Platform Installer reached End-of-Life on 7/1/22. To set up ASP.NET 4.5, see IIS 8.0 Using ASP.NET 3.5 and ASP.NET 4.5. For ASP.NET Core, make sure you configure the Application Pool to use No Managed Code, as described in the article. To set up ASP.NET Core, see Host ASP.NET Core on Windows with IIS. The steps in this tutorial were tested in Windows Server 2022. Either ASP.NET 4.5 or ASP.NET Core must also be installed on the server. On your server, you must be running Windows Server 2012 or greater, and you must have the IIS Web Server role correctly installed (required to generate the publish settings file ( *.publishsettings)). Add the workload by selecting Tools > Get Tools and Features.Install the latest updates in Visual Studio by selecting Help > Check for Updates.

If you've already installed Visual Studio: Visual Studio installed with the ASP.NET and web development workload. Visual Studio creates the publishing profile. A publish settings file is created in IIS, and then it can be imported into Visual Studio. A publish settings file ( *.publishsettings) is different than a publishing profile ( *.pubxml).
