This document provides an overview and demonstration of the Microsoft Web Platform tools: IIS Web Eco-System, Web Platform Installer (Web PI), and Web Deploy. The presentation covers the main components and features of each tool, how they work, and examples of common usage scenarios. Web PI simplifies installation of web software. Web Deploy enables deployment and synchronization of websites, applications, and databases between IIS servers. Usage scenarios demonstrated include synchronization, migration, packaging, and modifying sync behavior with rules.

If WebPI itself is failing to install – Check or Post the log file here: %temp%webpi_launcher.txt
If WebPI is installed, but an application or product fails to install: Check or Post the latest WebPIx.txt file from here:
Win7/Vista/Win2k8 and above: %localappdata%microsoftweb platform installerlogswebpi
XP/Win2k3: %userprofile%local settingsapplication datamicrosoftweb platform installerlogswebpi
WebPI is installed and you know specifically which product is failing: You can look for the installer log file from the component that failed.

Web Deploy (msdeploy) simplifies deployment of Web sites, Web applications
and Virtual directories to IIS servers. Administrators can use Web Deploy to
synchronize content and configurations between IIS servers or migrate to newer
versions of IIS. Additionally, Web Deploy tool enables administrators and
delegated users to use IIS Manager to deploy ASP.NET and PHP applications to
an IIS server.

synchronization
• Automatically gathers
content, IIS configuration,
SSL certificates and
ASP.NET configuration
when you sync a Web site
Package
