AWS CodeDeploy hangs before ApplicationStop on a Windows server

Question

I am trying to deploy an ASP.NET Core 3.0 sample project to a Windows 2019 server EC2 instance. When I initiate the deployment, it hangs at "In Progress" and each event says, "Pending". After failure, they all say, "Skipped".

Here is my appspec.yml:

version: 0.0
os: windows
files:
  - source: \
    destination: c:\inetpub\wwwroot

I have the CodeDeploy agent installed on the server as well as the .NET Core hosting bundle. I tried installing into a random folder instead of c:\inetpub\wwwroot without luck. The deployment always times out after 5 minutes with the error message,

The overall deployment failed because too many individual instances failed deployment, too few healthy instances are available for deployment, or some instances in your deployment group are experiencing problems.

I gave the Deployment a role with the AWSCodeDeployRole permission.

Any ideas on what could be going wrong? Best as I can tell, this should be a straight forward copy/paste job for CodeDeploy...

Thanks in advance.

We've run into the same issue. Server 2019 is not on the supported OS list so we used a server 2016 image and it worked.
