Can't see "Create deploy package as a zip file" option in Visual Studio 2015 Community

Question

Can't see this option in Package/Publish Web page. I'm using Visual Studio Community 2015.

Picture from asp.net:

edit: As a workaround, I can build a publish package as instructed here. But still don't know why my version can't see that option.

Answer 1

I hope you have already found a solution to this problem.

As from Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 they removed those settings from the Package/Publish Web project settings. You will have to access this package option from the Publish dialogue.

Right-Click on your project and select Publish, Create a new Profile. In the Connection tab, Select Web Deploy Package for the Publish Method option.

Hope this helps
