Installing IIS6 Compatibility Tools fixed this for me.

(Note: This is in the year 2017, I built a "hello world" wen application in Visual Studio 2015, added a Web Deployment Project, transferred it to another machine, and this error happens - installing software that was written in 2002 and become obsolete in 2008 fixes the problem)
