WebDeploy not listening on port 8172
<p>I'm try to deploy a simple web application from my dev machine to IIS running on a Windows 7 Professional virtual machine.</p>

<p>On this machine I did the following:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Installed Web Deploy 3.6, making sure all features get installed.</p></li>
<li><p>Made sure the Web Management and Web Deployment Agent services are set to Automatic and currently running.</p></li>
<li><p>Enabled port 8172 in Windows Firewall (no other firewall installed). The rule was already there but not enabled.</p></li>
<li><p>Temporarily turned off Windows Firewall to make sure it's still not blocking the port.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>When I try:</p>

<pre><code>netstat -aon | findstr :8172
</code></pre>

<p>I get no results, so nothing is listening on this port.</p>

<p>As a test, I installed VS 2012 on the server and publishing with Web Deploy works fine. However, this is not the way I need to do it.</p>

<p>What else can I try to make sure that the services are listening on port 8172?</p>
