MS Deploy commandline usages updating...

1. Using declareParam and setParam to change the application name

Firstly, create an archive (or package) and declare a parameter

C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy V3>msdeploy -verb:sync -source:apphostconfig="default web site\Testweb" -dest:archivedir="C:\deploytest" -declareparam:name=appName,kind=providerpath,scope=apphostconfig

Then, specify a value at synchronization time

C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy V3>msdeploy -verb:sync -source:archivedir="C:\deploytest" -dest:auto -setparam:name=appName,kind=providerpath,sc ope=apphostconfig,value='default web site/TestwebDeploy'
