    Hi @Steven Lin

    Web deploy Tool 2.1 was released in 2011-04 and is now out of date. I suggest you use the latest version of Web Deploy tool v3.6.

    If you must use Web deploy Tool 2.1, then you can try the following methods to fix the problem that cannot be installed in Web Platfrom Tool.

    1. In Web Platfrom Tool, click the Options link.
    2. In the Options page, click the link for "Delete installation cache folder"
    3. Try the install again.
