I have VS 2013 Ultimate. My remote server is IIS 7.5 and enabled for remote deployment. I have installed Web Deploy Tool 2.1 through Web Platform Installer 4.6 and it installed successfully.

When I try to validate connection from to remote server from my local machine on Publish tool, I get following error: "Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Web.Deployment, Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=Neutral, PubliKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35 or one of its dependencies. The system can not find the file specified."

I understand that Microsoft.Web.Deployment.dll is missing from my machine. I installed Web Deployment Tool to install this assembly. But that doesn't solve the issue. The assembly is not reflected in my list of available assemblies to add to my project as reference.

Same question has been answered in other threads. But those are not solving my issue.

Any idea to get around this issue?

Regards, Suraj

Close and reload your project in VS 2013.
try to validate at connection tab Publish your site.
