 Execute the below command to get the dependencies of the website. Verify the output of the dependencies and


make sure that those components were installed correctly on the destination server.

msdeploy -verb:getDependencies -source:metakey=lm/w3svc/1

In this demo, we have to change the DefaultAppPool .NET framework version from 2.0 to 4.0. So the same


version of .NET needs to be installed on the destination server.
