Cannot find path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InetStp\'

Question

I setup a new project in Octopus Deploy but the deployment failed with the following message:

get-itemproperty : Cannot find path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InetStp\' because it does not exist.

What would cause this error?

Answer 1

This is usually because you're trying to deploy a website but IIS is not installed on the machine.
