I was trying to deploy a sample, following the tutorial instructions.

I got the following error when publishing the solution in VS2013:

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\Web\Microsoft.Web.Publishing.targets(4253,5): Error : Web deployment task failed. (Unknown ProviderOption:DefiningProjectFullPath. Known ProviderOptions are:skipInvalid.)
Publish failed to deploy.

What is it about? How can I fix it?

Hi,

May I know which service do you want to deploy, WebSite or Cloud Service? When we deploy application, please make sure you do not missed.

    Run you application as Administrator

    Get the publish profile from the Windows Azure portal

    Import the profile to the publish window

Hope it helps

website.

I did all the steps you mentioned below:

    Get the publish profile from the Windows Azure portal

    Import the profile to the publish window

Hi,

From my experience, first, we need to ensure there was nothing error in our application, we can try to build a sample application and try to deploy to Azure Website, if success, I think this issue is more related with your application, if failed, I suggest you reinstall Azure SDK.

Best Regards
