    You can try this:

    1. Perform precompilation against the web application.

    2. Clear the target directory(virtual directory in IIS or physical file
      folder) and deploy all the files (of the web application) into the target
      directory.

    In the output window you can check at which stage does the publish website
    operation fail. For example, at the first stage, if there are some error
    which will only occur at precompilation, that will cause the stage 1 fail.
    Or some times if the target directory has something configured incorrectly.
    Such as the IIS virtual dir is not set to the correct ASP.NET version or
    some old files are locked and prevent them from being cleared. Mostly,
    publish failed will be caused by IIS side configuration issue such as
    authentication setting….
