How do you do this with Web Deploy 4? Web Deploy 3.6 has been retired

@Hyjack, Richard "Web Deploy 3.6 has been retired" isn't accurate. Since 4.0 release is only used/available in limited scenarios, 3.6 remains fully supported.

@Hyjack, Richard Sounds like finally 4.0 becomes generally available so you can use it instead of 3.6 now, https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=106070

thanks again for your response. Unfortunately, after I installed 4.0. I don't see an option for deploy or export.

@Hyjack, Richard That has been well known. You have to go to Programs and modify its installation to add IIS Manager UI Module and others.

Hello,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

You can refer to this document and microsoft support blog for steps.

I will still show you the detailed steps about migrate websites via GUI.

Install web deploy 3.6 on Web PI. Search in Web PI and install it. It may reports install fail but you don't need to worry about it, just some components of sql and they will not affect web deploy. web deploy

Choose the site you want to migrate. Right click it and choose the Export Application...

Click (no need to change any settings) until it reminds you to set package path. Select the folder you want to store .zip file and name the .zip file. Then click . nextnext

It will shows you the result of export. Click if success. finish

Move the .zip file to new server. Choose the new empty site on IIS(new server also need to install web deploy) and righ click to . import application

Click and no need to change any settings. next

Enter the site name when it reminds you to enter application information.

Still click until it shows that install successfully. next

Then you will find the site on new IIS.

I hope the information above is helpful.

Best regards

Zunhui

While export/import packages might work, it’s better to sync live and verify dependencies in advance. Read https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/publish/using-web-deploy/synchronize-iis for more details.
