I had v1 of msdeploy installed and I uninstalled it to install the v2.

I had v1 of msdeploy installed and I uninstalled it to install the v2.
Now my vs2010 packages fail when I run the deploy.cmd because it can’t find the registry entry – even though I’ve created an MSDeployPath environment variable pointing to the v2 path?

I have MSDeployPath set to “C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy V2” in the Advanced System Settings/Environment Variables under My Computer/Properties.

The error I get when I run the VS2010 deploy.cmd file is:
Files\IIS\Microsoft was unexpected at this time.

Anyone know how to fix this? The vs2010 package’s deploy.cmd looks for /1 in the registry.

So how do I change this to look for /2 if the path variable doesn’t work

    Edit the .cmd file to look for the correct registry path. /2 instead of /1.

    My understanding is that TFS 2010 sp1 fixes this.

    The line from the cmd file for pre SP1 builds looks like this:

    for /F "usebackq tokens=2*" %%i  in (`reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\IIS Extensions\MSDeploy\1" /v InstallPath`) do (

    post SP1 it looks like this

    for /F "usebackq tokens=1,2,*" %%h  in (`reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\IIS Extensions\MSDeploy" /s  ^| findstr -i "InstallPath"`) do (
