  Run msdeploy.exe through ASP.net Reply Contact Hi All, I am experiencing weird hard behavior while trying to run msdeploy.exe through ASP.net web form.   What I am doing   Step1: Installed x86_msdeploy_beta2.msi on windows server 2003 and manually started “Web Deployment Agent Service”.   Step2 Created asp.net webapp and published to same server  with virtual directory named as migrationtool and created application pool for same with indentity which has administrator rights. On archive button click event I am trying to execute the following code to run msdeploy.exe Process msdeployprocess = new Process();             msdeployprocess.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy\msdeploy.exe";             msdeployprocess.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory =  @"C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy";             msdeployprocess.StartInfo.Arguments = "-verb:sync -source:metakey=/LM/w3svc/1/ROOT/virdirabc,computername=machine1.xxx.org-dest:archivedir=C:\archive\virdirabc -debug "          msdeployprocess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;            msdeployprocess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;            msdeployprocess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;            msdeployprocess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;                      msdeployprocess.Start();            msdeployprocess.WaitForExit(6000);//1min  What I am expecting Archive virtual directory settings and content for  a given virdirabc. What it is doing It is archiving only virtual directory settings and partial content(not copying entire content from source content directory to archive content directory). It is behaving very weird as it is copying child level items not root level items. NOTE: If I run the same command through command line on same server then it is archiving all virtual directory settings as well as content. F:\>msdeploy -verb:sync -source:metakey=/LM/w3svc/1/ROOT/virdirabc,computername=machine.xxx.org  -dest:archivedir=C:\archive\virdirabc–debug    Can any one try to reproduce the same? Am I missing some thing? Thanks in advance for your help.  Anjee.

  Re: Run msdeploy.exe through ASP.net Reply Contact Can you get the output of the process? Also, are you sure the msdeploy command is even executing successfully through your web app? One possibility I could see is that you're looking at an old archive and that the command is failing due to insufficient privileges. Any additional information you have would be useful.

  Re: Run msdeploy.exe through ASP.net Reply Contact Hi Nina, Thanks for attemping my thread. [are you sure the msdeploy command is even executing successfully through your web app?] Yes, msdeploy command is executing successfully and it is creating whole directory sctructure but not copying content. [One possibility I could see is that you're looking at an old archive] No, I am looking at right directory because every time I deleting directory structure manually before executing. I am not receiving any exit code from Process but as you said there might be insufficient privileges(I coudn't find what>..) Thanks, Anjee.
