I am getting the following error when I compile the release of my web application. The project ran fine previously on another machine the hard drive went out on. So I am thinking there is a problem with the configuration. I did some research and it made note of a Web Deploy issue but I am unable to verify what version was in use on the past machine.
Here is the error:
The "IsCleanMSDeployPackageNeeded" task failed unexpectedly.
