  small problem with replace and backslashes Reply Contact have the following when i run msdeploy: -replace:objectname=metaproperty,match="c:\\inetpub",replace="d:\\inetpub" when I run this, the command runs but in IIS7 i see d:\\inetpub\..... there's an extra backslash when i remove the extra backslash from the command, it fails to run since it think's the backslash is a command line switch So what is the correct syntax here if on my source server everything is on C drive and on my dest server everything is on D driver? Paths all remain the same within the inetpub folder - just moved it to D drive on the dest server thanks

Since the match string is regex while the replace string is used to replace as is. So the current syntax can be: -replace:objectname=metaproperty,match="c:\\inetpub",replace="d:\inetpub" Let us know if you need more information.
