appveyor.pubxml

Having trouble building when Package for webdeploy is checked.
Getting: "The value for PublishProfile is set to 'appveyor', expected to find the file at 'C:\projects\[PATH]\My Project\PublishProfiles\appveyor.pubxml' but it could not be found." (replaced project name/path with [PATH] in the example above).
Build succeeds if it's not checked.
Any ideas on how to get it to build and package a webdeploy package to be used by your deploy agent later on?
It's an asp.net site and from what I could gather from the documenation it should work to only check the box and get the artifacts automatically (for later use and deploy by your agent). Am I doing wrong?
Also, where am I supposed to specify sitename and ports etc when deploying using your agent software? Is it possible to specify somewhere directly in the appveyor gui, or do I have to create a config file?

    I guess that project is "Website" (without *.csproj or *.vbproj), not a regular Web Application Project (WAP). Currently, AppVeyor doesn't support automatic packaging of Website project, so this is something we could add in the future releases.

    Actually. It's not. It's an old vb application and has been a website but
    it's been upgraded some time ago and it's got a vbproj file. I switched to
    script just to try it out and added my own pubxml file and got it working
    after a while. But it should work without all that. And would be glad if we
    could make it work. :/
    Any other ideas on what could be the problem?

    Is it a public project?

    No. Private GitHub.
    Any info I can give you without making it public?
    Maybe a path issue? But I guess in that case someone else should have had
    the same issue already. :/

    Sure, I will give it thought and let you know.

    Gotcha! VB explains everything. For VB projects publishing profile should be saved to a different location <project_root>\My Project\PublishProfiles rather than <project_root>\Properties\PublishProfiles as for C#.

    I'm going to fix that and publish update later today.
