I saw another thread about iis 6. I’m getting errors when trying to deploy to a tentacle that is running windows server 2003 with IIS 6 on it. Here is the error message:

Hi Sean,
Thanks for reporting the issue. I just published a new build that contains a fix for this.
There are two ways to update IIS - using LDAP, or using the IIS 7 API’s. The LDAP approach only works when IIS 6 Management Compat tools are installed under IIS 7, which a few people forgot to do. So I switched to using the API, but that of course broke IIS 6.
I now use both - I try to use the IIS 7 API, but if that isn’t available, I’ll fall back to LDAP, so it should work for IIS 7 and IIS 6.

Hmm. I updated to the latest tentacle package and the main octopus server. Heres the versions I installed and I still seeing the same error:
Octopus server : 0.8.371.1976
Tentacle : 0.8.370.1975
Error:

Any ideas? I restarted the main octopus server after installing and restarted the tentacle service on the tentacle. Any ideas?

Hi Sean,
The latest Tentacle is version .1976, not .1975 as you have below. It’s
possible my CI server didn’t upload the Tentacle at the same time as
the Octopus so you accidentally got the old version. Upgrading should
fix it.
