Downloading the Visual Studio Web Publish Updates

I have written a few posts recently describing out updated web publish experience. These new experience is available for both Visual Studio 2010 as well as Visual Studio 2012 RC. You can use the links below to download these updates in the Azure SDK download. Below are links for both versions.

The Web Publish experience is chained into VS 2012 RC so if you have installed VS 2012 RC with the Web features then you already have these features.

Thanks,

Well this update seems to break web deploy to other application. I can no longer use web deploy on my existing discountasp.net host after installing this new publish tool. The biggest problem is how to uninstall it from visual studio 2010.
This is the error I get

Error 1 Web Deploy publish/package validating error: Missing or Invalid property value for $(MsDeployServiceUrl) 0 0 freshangle

Hi, can you email me at sayed(at){MicrosoftDOTcom} with a screen shot and more details regarding this? It shouldn't break any existing scenarios.

I have managed to resolve it by uninstalling the some of the updates made by the new azure tools. You can look at user feedback and the solution in this like

The publish tool keeps adding in connection strings to my config files I get the error " A section using 'configSource' may contain no other attributes or elements.".

How do I stop this tool from adding in the connection strings? It's driving me mad.

Hi, you can simply un-check the checkbox "Use this connection string at runtime". Hope that helps.
