MSBuild does not start WebDeploy

Several MSBuild TFS 2010 do not launch Web Deploy to publish a web application to the IIS website.

This is for several different software products, several different build configurations, two different build agents (on two different servers), several instances of the IIS website on several different servers.

Previously, 3 different continuous deployment modes worked.

So hopefully this eliminates the missing configuration of build / build servers / hosting / web deployment servers and IIS.

According to the network manager, nothing has changed on the network (all servers are local), and port 8172 is not blocked by any security configurations.

All builds succeed, web deployment fails (no errors, nothing in the logs). It seems that network deployment is no longer starting.

Are there any other ports that are used here? What else can block the connection between MSBuild and Web Deploy? Would you expect it to fail (nothing in the logs or go back to MSBuild)?

UPDATE This is a similar question. How to determine if the MSBUILD arguments were executed to determine the TFS assembly

Assuming you are using vs2012, on your build server, make sure that the following two folders exist: Web and WebApplications in

C: \ Program Files (x86) \ MSBuild \ Microsoft \ VisualStudio \ v11.0

If they do not exist, they must be copied from the machine on which you work. This worked for me and solved all my problems with project deployment.
