Hi after being up all night and even solving my issues on the new set up server (2012 Essentials) to find a way to deploy my projects I give up.
My normal project I am working on throws following exception when I try to deploy it to the server over WebDav and over Web Deploy:
3>C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\Web\Microsoft.Web.Publishing.targets(657,3): warning MSB4011: "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v11.0\Web\CollectFiles\Microsoft.Web.Publishing.OnlyFilesToRunTheApp.targets" cannot be imported again. It was already imported at "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v11.0\Web\Microsoft.Web.Publishing.targets (793,3)". This is most likely a build authoring error. This subsequent import will be ignored. [S:\Arbeit\BAP\trunk_bap\BAP\BAP.csproj]
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\Web\Microsoft.Web.Publishing.targets(2803,46): Error MSB4115: The "exists" function only accepts a scalar value, but its argument "$(PublishParametersFile)" evaluates to "Z:\BAP.Publish.Parameters.xml;Z:\BAP.Publish.Parameters.xml" which is not a scalar value.
Depending on some factors (ways of deploying it is one of them) the paths, and variables change. one thing always stays the same:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\Web\Microsoft.Web.Publishing.targets(2803,46): Error MSB4115: The "exists" function only accepts a scalar value, but its argument
After that, I tried to set up a simple MVC 4 Internet Application just to test if the server works and if the deployment works and I got the following errors:

Any idea what is wrong???
As i said, i have everything set up new (~2 week old top) and doubt that i managed to screw up something in that short time.
Both projects work when running with F5 on the client. And I was definitly able to publish the 1 project with my old set up (Windows 7, Visual Studio 2010 and Windows Server 2003 via FTP Publishing)
I hope that somebody can give me a hint on what to change / how to fix it.
Thx
regards
Peter
