   What version of OS is on target server? Deployment Agent supports Windows Server 2012 and above: http://www.appveyor.com/docs/deployment/agent#software-requirements

   We are using server 2008 but the old version worked with your deployment agent. Is there a way to make skip directory work with 2008? or any workaround?

   thank you

   I can look into that. Is it 2008 or 2008 R2? Do you have HTTPS bindings setup?

   It's 2008 R2, Https is allowed for that server because our domain has https.

   I mean do you have https bindings setup on Agent deployment environment?

   Also, I see agent fails on creating a new web site, right?

   The main reason Windows Server 2008 R2 (and below) is not supported is that there is no Web Sockets available when using SignalR client.

   I've setup a fresh 2008 R2 server on Azure and indeed, looking at "Deployment Agent" event log, Agent is trying to connect using "serverSentEvents" provider, then it fails after Registering deployment agent with Error subscribing agent events: The operation was canceled.

   Now I'm wondering how your server was able to connect. Could you export "Deployment Agent" event viewer log and send it to me ("Save all events as..." to .evtx file)? Where do you host that server?

   Here's the log file.
   OS: Server 2008 R2 Datacenter

   Amazing, despite there is Error subscribing agent events: The operation was canceled. error it's still getting connected to AppVeyor cloud.

   I'll do some experiments here and let you know about the results.

   Because we will not be changing the OS anytime soon so we just tried it and it worked, it just doesn't work with the new one.

    Mark,

    We've updated Deployment Agent to support IIS 7.x. Install the latest: http://www.appveyor.com/downloads/AppveyorDeploymentAgent.msi

    Let me know how it worked.

    ...I'd still prefer to consider Windows Server 2008 support as "unofficial" ;)

    Cool, it works on my end. It deploys my updates and skips the directory. I tried restarting the appveyor service a couple of times though before it started to work.
