Azure Devops Release

I'm having trouble setting up a release pipeline on Azure DevOps to publish a self-contained netcoreapp2.2 application to a third-party provider (Fast2Host).

I'm trying to use MSDeploy Package Sync with the following configuration:

steps:
- task: rschiefer.MSDeployAllTheThings.msdeploy-package-sync.MSDeployPackageSync@0
displayName: 'MSDeploy Package Sync: '
inputs:
Package: '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/_xxx-CI/drop/xxx.ui.zip'
DestinationComputer: 'https://xxx.co.uk:8172/msdeploy.axd?site=xxx.co.uk'
AuthType: basic
Username: xxx
Password: xxx
AdditionalArguments: '-setParam:name="DeployIisAppPath",value="xxx xxx.co.uk"'

When I run the release, I get the following error Error: Unrecognized argument 'DeployIisAppPath'.

Can anyone help me understand what im doing wrong?

I can "publish" the app locally directly from visual studio using the following publish profile which I think gets called by msdeploy.

<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <WebPublishMethod>MSDeploy</WebPublishMethod>
    <LastUsedBuildConfiguration>Release</LastUsedBuildConfiguration>

    <LaunchSiteAfterPublish>True</LaunchSiteAfterPublish>
    <ExcludeApp_Data>False</ExcludeApp_Data>

    <_IsPortable>false</_IsPortable>
  </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

In your additional arguments, change ‘DeployIisAppPath’ to ‘IIS Web Application Name’ and run it.

Compare the versions of MsDeploy running locally and on your MS Hosted Agent in DevOps and troubleshoot from there if that doesn’t work.
