title: MsDeploy fails for webdeploy
body: <p>I am trying web-deploy.</p>
  
  <p>Because I wanted to be able to reproduce this, i used a test system</p>
  
  <p>Windows 2008 RC, IIs 7.5 + Deployment package 
  I configured deployment using
  <a href="http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/516/configure-the-web-deployment-handler/" rel="noreferrer">http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/516/configure-the-web-deployment-handler/</a>
  Enabled tracing

  <p>I created a new WCF Service Application, (changed nothing) compiled it and tried to deploy</p>
  
  <p>I get the following response(after a few min)</p>

  <p>and no logs (at all) on the dev1 server side.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried many variations, but this is the simplest, easiest thing to reproduce. and it is failing.</p>
  
  <p>any ideas?</p>
