Problem using Web Platform Installer 3 into existing web site

Looks like a bug to me, but maybe I've done something dumb!

Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit.

Empty web site and app pool already set up, with host header bindings.

Use Web Platform Installer 3.0 (either launched from within IIS or outside). Followed wizard (many settings grayed out because web site and folders already exist)...

Installation failed with error about not finding a folder. Logs as follows:

webpi4.txt has this:

Installer\installers\mojoPortal\47041ed0e48ec801367f79fd14d666b7b27dd9ba\mojoportal-2-3-6-6-mssql-net40-deploymentfiles.zip instead of downloading from http://mojoportal.codeplex.com/Project/Download/FileDownload.aspx?DownloadId=245023

   at Microsoft.Web.Deployment.FileSystemInfoEx.Refresh()

mojoportal.txt log has this:

I've previously used the WPI successfully to set up another site where the web site did not already exist, so I'll try that now, but posting this in case there's a bug in mojo, or anyone can tell me what I did wrong.

Re: Problem using Web Platform Installer 3 into existing web site

Hi Crispin,

Not an answer to your question as such but a suggestion of a similar alternative method that I find works really well and easily, in case you get further problems with your existing method.

It is to use Platform Installer to install WebMatrix then use WebMatrix to install MojoPortal.

I've been through the process a good dozen times now and am drafting up some blogs on the process, including swapping between local and remote sites for developing.

The draft blogs as they exist so far are here.
