Microsoft.Web.Configuration.AppHostFileProvider not found after configured Remote IIS Administration for Microsoft Azure Web App

A few months earlier I could successfully configure Remote IIS Administration for my Azure Web App. After changed the office, I found that after configured the Remote IIS Administration on my new computer, I encountered the following error when I try to click my website:

enter image description here

I use Internet Information Services (Version 10.0.16299.15) and installed IIS Manager for Remote Administration 1.2. And I followed Configure Remote IIS Administration for Microsoft Azure App Service to configure Remote IIS Administration.

I also checked that web app uses Microsoft-IIS/10.0 for now. As IIS Manager for Remote Administration 1.2 noted:

Works With: IIS 7, IIS 7.5, IIS 8, IIS 8.5

Does IIS Manager for Remote Administration not work under IIS 10.0? My previous working computer is Windows 10 and I do not remember the version of IIS, maybe IIS 8.5 or IIS 10.0.

Thanks in advance.

Try to manage a local Windows Server 2016 server so that the necessary assemblies can be downloaded and installed. Then you should be able to manage Azure side resources. – Lex Li

Late answer but for anyone else finding this: IIS Manager support has been removed from Azure Web Apps.

Thank you for taking the time to submit and vote for this feature request. The errors were thrown because we no longer support the IIS manager. Going forward, please edit the web.config manually.

Thanks, Jason
