I am deploying an ASP.NET MVC3 application in IIS7. I already deployed other applications but they never made use of the App_Data folder or any additional component such as the Interop library.
I used the one click deployement and I sue the default application pool. When I launch the application I immediately get an error stating:
[web access] Sorry, an error occurred while processing your request.
[browse from IIS7] Could not find a part of the path 'D:\Data\Apps\OppUpdate\App_Data\Test.xlsx'.
Then I manually added the App_Data folder inside the deployment directory and the application starts regularly. Then when it comes to the taks that uses the Interop library, I get the following error:
[web access] Sorry, an error occurred while processing your request.
[browse from IIS7] Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {00024500-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error: 80040154 Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG)).
Is there any way to automatically add the App_Data folder when using 1 click deploy? How can I register the Interop services?
Thanks you,
Francesco
Apparently the problem is linked with Server 2008. The Excel application to be executed on server side triggers the security popup which is now present in MS OS, such as Win 7 and Vista. This is the dialog it appears to the users everytime they run an application and warns them about the damages a not trusted application might bring to their PC.
Obviously when the application, in this case Excel, is run by another application, in this case a web application,the dialog does not popup and the server does not get the authorization to run Excel.
The solution for this appalling BUG in Microsoft IIS & Excel is terrific:
Create directory "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop"
Set Full control permissions for directory Desktop (for example in Win7 & IIS 7 & DefaultAppPool set permissions for user "IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool")

Failed to deploy web package to IIS website
I have created one ASP.NET Core application and Azure DevOps continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) pipeline.
I have created and configure the Self-hosted Windows agents in my local machine as a service. It is working as expected.
When I run the CI/CD pipeline for the first time it is working successfully, and the web application published to my local IIS successfully.
The issue is when I commit another update to Azure DevOps git repository it is failed to deploy web package to my local IIS website with the following errors and warnings
2019-08-21T10:56:59.1480862Z ##[error]Failed to deploy web package to IIS website.

More Information: Web Deploy cannot modify the file 'DemoWebApp.dll' on the destination because it is locked by an external process. In order to allow the publish operation to succeed, you may need to either restart your application to release the lock, or use the AppOffline rule handler for .Net applications on your next publish attempt. Learn more at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=221672#ERROR_FILE_IN_USE.
Error count: 1.
I have configured the appOffline rule in the publishing profile (.pubxml) and add the EnableMSDeployAppOffline element to the PropertyGroup like this:
<PropertyGroup>
<EnableMSDeployAppOffline>true</EnableMSDeployAppOffline>
</PropertyGroup>
As described in More Information’s learn more URL http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=221672#ERROR_FILE_IN_USE.
Still it is failed to deploy web package to my local IIS website with the same errors and warnings.
When I trying to redeploy manually few times then it is working successfully other wise failed with same errors and warnings. Because I think the file is locked for some time in my local machine process.
It is also working successfully when I manually delete all the files from IIS release folder with that locked file.
Needs help, the file is locked by any one local process. I couldn’t find that local process. I couldn’t figure out the issue. I also don’t know if I found that process any how then how to figure out the issue. Is this just local issue?
Can anyone help me out?
Recycle the application pool immediately before your 'Deploy IIS App' task.
Add a 'WinRM - IIS Web App Management' task to you release pipeline. Set the Configuration type to 'IIS Application Pool', set the 'Action' to Recycle, and type in the app pool name in the 'Application pool name' field.
The recycle should unlock the dll and allow it to be deleted and replaced in the deployment step.
I encountered this same error despite having the Take App Offline option set for ages. That can't be the solution. There's some phantom bug going on here, but I did get it resolved without rebooting the server.
In PROCMON, I searched Associated Handles for the file in use. There were none.
I tried deleting the app's DLL file outright; an error message said it was in use by w3wp.exe even though the website was offline and the app pool stopped.
I confirmed this by opening IIS and looking at the worker processes panel. None of the active w3wp.exe PIDs were related to the application I was trying to update.
I opened PROCMON and sorted by Image name to find any W3WP.exe instances still running. There was one Suspended instance that it wouldn't let me terminate (despite running PROCMON as an admin/with elevation). It simply said "Access is denied."
I restarted the Agent on the server via the Services window.
At that point, I was able to delete the application DLL from the target directory and deploy normally from DevOps pipelines.
Hopefully this doesn't happen in production.
I had the same error .
I splved by checking the "enable IIS" to my task , like this :
Now my lob suuccseded
I was deploying my web app on local iis using IIS Web App Deploy task.I was able to reproduce the same error. I found this error occurred if i was visiting my website when i was trying to deploy a new version. And the deploy task failed to update the .dll file, since it was in use.
I fixed this error by checking this option “Take App Offline”, See below pic.
Please let me know If you are using different tasks to deploy your web app.
I wrote an application that gets my personal info from Facebook using the Graph API. When debugging the application in Visual Studio, everything runs fine. I created an installer using Advanced Installer and installed the program on my system. When I click a button that requires an Graph API request, the program stalls and crashes.
I was just able to debug using Visual Studio and got a FileNotFound exception saying, "Could not load file or assembly 'Facebook, Version=6.0.10.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken...' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."
Not sure where to go from here, but any helpful tips would be appreciated.
This sounds like your setup package failed to deploy your app file or one of its dependencies. You should check into your installation folder for the deployed files and make sure all of them were successfully deployed/copied on local machine after installation.
I configured releases same way for a couple of our servers but I have issue with one of them (others work perfectly):
[error]Failed to deploy web package to IIS website.
[error]Error: C:\vstsagent\A2_work_tasks\IISWebAppDeploymentOnMachineGroup_1b467810-6725-4b6d-accd-886174c09bba\0.0.20\MSDeploy3.6\msdeploy.exe failed with return code: 2148734720
Unfortunately I can't find anything helpful related to this error Code.
My release configuration:
IIS Web App Deploy (Preview)
Deployment group with one specific staging server (I'm using on-premise agent)
Website name: correct name of my website in IIS
Virtual Application: empty field
Package of Folder: zip chosen from build drop artifacts
Selected "XML variable substitution"
Selected "Remove Additional Files at Destination"
What I've already tried with no luck:
manually turn of application
delete all files in application folder
changing user account to use for the service
Again - same configuration for other servers works fine.
Servers configuration: Windows Server 2012R2 Standard x64
Looks like I figured it out. .NET Framework 3.5 was missing on my server...
I was investigating logs and I found out that below line is causing failure.
"C:\vstsagent\A2\_work\_tasks\IISWebAppDeploymentOnMachineGroup_1b467810-6725-4b6d-accd-886174c09bba\0.0.20\MSDeploy3.6\msdeploy.exe" -verb:sync -source:package='C:\vstsagent\A2\_work\r2\a\temp_web_package_8269135298977384.zip' -dest:auto -setParam:name='IIS Web Application Name',value='httproot'
So I copied it to CMD and got proper Windows message when I tried to execute it.
I am new to Visual Studio 2012 and the Web Deploy 3.0 used to upload a package to IIS. While my application compiles and renders fine on my local development laptop, when I package the web app and then import the packaged zip file to my site on IIS I get error when I try to view the page. When I open IE on my local machine and browse to my site address by IP (_http://1.2.3.4/acme/tools/default.aspx) I get this error "Server Error in '/' Application." and then further below "Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'ACME.Default'". The source error is pointing to my page declaration. It appears that it is having trouble with the 'Inherits="ACME.Default"' , but why? And how to fix?
Many thanks.

Have you checked your AppPool version versus your app -- typical IIS configurations will still default to 2.0 not 4.0 and this is exactly the sort of error one sees when one has that kind of version mismatch.
I developed a sample application in visual studio 2010. I created an Empty SharePoint Project and gave the local site url for debugging. Checked "Deploy as Farm" as the trust level of the SharePoint solution. Added a visual webpart and also a class to the solution. I am able to build and successfully run the application using visual studio. In my local machine am using SharePoint foundation 2010 to debug the SharePoint application.
Now i want to deploy this application in the SharePoint server 2010 which is in a virtual machine.
1. I copied the .wsp file of the application i created to the virtual machine.
2. From the central administrator in the VM I created a web application and the site collection.
3. Then using Site Actions -> Site Settings -> Solution(Galleries), choose the .wsp file for uploading. it showed a "Warning: You should only activate this solution if you trust this solution. An activated solution can read, modify and delete your data. " and the activate button is disabled.
Then I tried to do same in my local machine on a different site collection. Here Activate button is enabled but when clicked it threw exception
Server Error in '/' Application.
This solution contains invalid markup or elements that cannot be deployed as part of a sandboxed solution. Solution manifest for solution 'aee60282-765d-4c9f-b67a-5981f18a6d3b' failed validation, file manifest.xml, line 10, character 4: The element 'Solution' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/' has invalid child element 'TemplateFiles' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/'. List of possible elements expected: 'FeatureManifests, ActivationDependencies' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/'.
What could be this error?
The "TemplateFiles" element refers to items that will be copied onto the web server. This is allowed for farm solutions (which are deployed via CentralAdmin), but is not allowed for sandboxed solutions (which are deployed via the Solution Gallery).
When you deploy your wsp with visual studio, you deploy it as farm solution.
When you deploy your wsp from site settings into solution galery, you deploy it as user solution (sandbox solution) with some limitations :
first, avoid using out of the box visual webparts, it's prohibited !
Deploy your wsp by writing powershell script.
A good starting point here :
patrickboom.wordpress.com/2010/05/31/using-powershell-to-deploy-sharepoint-solutions-wsp-2/
Le_Fredo is correct here, when attempting to deploy a WSP file into the site collection directly under the site settings, you won't be able to. I found this article from microsoft to be extermely helpful
