Hi John,

Thanks for getting in touch!

Based on the error you have provided it looks like you are trying to deploy to a virtual directory which Octopus does not currently support.
The good news is that this feature is coming in Octopus 2.5.

Hope that helps!

Oh wow ok no problem, I don’t need to use it since we’d be using this to deploy it now anyway!

Thanks for the quick response!

What clued you into the issue so I can troubleshoot better next time?

Thanks :slight_smile:
