Scripted MSDeploy Utilizes locally published "EA.Website.deploy.cmd"

For any interested…

This script uses MSDeploy  & utilizes the locally published "EA.Website.deploy.cmd"

(see notes in file below)

Since the .zip file is auto-extracted to a rather lengthy virtual path, I thought I'd make a note here, before anyone goes to the trouble of creating one, like I did.

My local auto-extracted IIS Virtual path turned out to be:

C:\inetpub\EA.Website\Src\Web\bin\DeploymentPackage

 

One remaining step, not included in this script, would be to overwrite the freshly published web.config, etc. with a saved configuration file.
