Error: Need to specify the physical directory for the virtual path 'Web/' of role - powershell

Question

I'm following the answer at the bottom of this question here: ASP.NET 5 web application as Azure Web Role? as I am trying to build an azure web role for asp.net core.
When I run the powershell script I get the error:
Error CloudServices077: Need to specify the physical directory for the virtual path 'Web/' of role
If anyone knows another way to use azure web roles in asp.net core then I am all for that too.
I'm using CSPack to try and configure this.
Powershell Script:
# path to cspack
$cspackPath = Join-Path $env:ProgramFiles 'Microsoft SDKs\Azure\.NET SDK\v2.8\bin\cspack.exe'
$PackagePath = 'I:\Users\MyUserName\Documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\SoundVast\SoundVast.Azure\SoundVast.cspkg'
$serviceDefinitionFile = 'I:\Users\MyUserName\Documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\SoundVast\SoundVast.Azure\ServiceDefinition.csdef'
$webRoleName = 'WebRole1'
$webRolePath = 'I:\Users\MyUserName\Documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\SoundVast\SoundVast.Azure'
# define the cspack parameters
$cspackParameter = #(
$serviceDefinitionFile,
"/role:$webRoleName;$webRolePath;",
"/sites:$webRoleName;SoundVast;$webRolePath",
"/out:$PackagePath"
)
# execute cspack
& $cspackPath #cspackParameter

Folder structure (if it makes a difference...)

Answer 1

I was missing the phsycial directory on this line: <Site name="Web" physicalDirectory="../SoundVast">. After this I ran the script and it created a package for me. The documentation on this is really not good.

Answer 2

I encountered this issue and resolved it by deleting the web role from my cloud service (it was an MVC) and generating a new one. I had made so many modifications it had become messy, so making a new one from scratch solved the issue
