I have a project, for which the publish (web deploy) to localhost was working under VS 2010. I made no changes to the project, other than opening it in VS 2012 RC.
The publish from VS 2012 RC failed when I attempted it, with message saying that the service does not exist, even though the site exists in IIS and can be posted to.
Now when I open the project in VS 2010 and attempt to publish, the publish fails with the same issue. Other projects where I have not attempted a publish in VS 2012 RC still have working publish profiles.
Has anyone else run into this issue, and if so, what have you done to correct it? I have looked into all the usual issues as to why a publish might fail, but publishes of other projects to IIS as local host on the same machine are working, so I think that rules out any failing services.
Is Web Deploy installed? You can verify web deploy is installed by going to the "Programs and Features" control panel and looking for "Microsoft Web Deploy 2.0" in the list of installed programs. If it is not there, you can install it via the Web Platform Installer by going to the "Products" tab.
Your question is quite old. I propose installing not RC, but final VS and to the newest update - ms guys fixed a bunch of problems.
