I generate a package like this:
msbuild myapp.csproj /T:Package
I want to transform the package after it has been created.
I dont want to use parameters.xml because i already have a bunch of xdt transforms and using another totally difference transform tool for the same thing is really stupid.
I tried scripting applying my xdt transforms, opening the zip, adding in the transformed configs, and deploying that modified package
Web deploy deleted the entire site directory and failed.
Why? Does webdeploy hash the files or something making it impossible to manually edit a package after it has been created (outside of the parameters.xml thing)?
The error was:
ERROR: msdeploy failed : SetParameters from:"C:\...\...\package.SetParameters.xml"
