IIS 7.0 IIS Manager does not have the option “Manage Packages” available

Question

Trying to deploy a mvc package, but looking at the instructions here: http://vishaljoshi.blogspot.com/2009/07/importing-web-package-into-iis-manager.html

I do not see the "Manage Packages" option visible when I got to IIS Manager->Default Web Site This is 2008R2 vanilla...

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

I was having this same problem. What I did to solve this in Windows 7 was:

• Go to Add or remove programs
• Search for Microsoft Web Deploy 2.0
• Uninstall it (it was already installed on my machine)
• Download the Microsoft Web Deploy 2.0 installation package here .
• Run the installer as Administrator
• Then go to Start -> Search programs and files and type InetMgr.exe hit enter and finally find the Deploy section under the Actions pane in IIS.
