Hi,
I’ve just started evaluating Octopus Deploy and ran straight into a major speed bump. Not all of our customers will support online deployments using Tentacle and therefore the most interesting feature of OD for us to evaluate was the offline package drops.
So, I created a simple single-page web application (nothing more than the ASP.NET template) and added the Octopack nuget package (to generate the nuget package).
The installation process only contains one step (Deploy NuGet package) which includes the IIS Web Site/IIS Application Pool features.
After the release is created and deployed, I simply run the cmd in the package drop and I get the following error:
"

I can’t find any information on how to extract more detailed logs for you to scavenge (for an offline package drop).
Also, OD doesn’t seem to clean up the failing install. Some files remains in the destination folder as well as the created IIS App Pool and IIS Web Site (however, weirdly configured).
I’m struggling to find anyone with a similar issue using my best friend Google. Perhaps you can help?
Best regards,
