Missing statement block after 'else' keyword

We receive the below error when trying to deploy a windows service. Any solution for this?

Hi Michiel,

Thanks for getting in touch!
Yeah that is a nice bug you have discovered, sorry about that.
I have created an issue in GitHub that you can track here: https://github.com/OctopusDeploy/Issues/issues/1031
We will endeavor to get this fixed asap, and let you know when the download is available.

Perfect. Thanks!

Until they post a new release, as a work around on each tentacle you can edit the script in the error: Octopus.Features.WindowsService_BeforePostDeploy.ps1

Towards the bottom there are two places that say: else if (…
They should say: elseif (…

Easy mistake when context switching between c# and powershell.

Hi Michiel and Adam,

The fix for this is now live and available as a download:

Thanks for your patience and reporting this issue.

Cheers
Vanessa

Thanks for the quick fix!
