Step 2: Check Prerequisites Needed

Each type of deployment has its own set of additional requirements needed to complete the deployment. The Prerequisites step shows only when these requirements have not been met for the currently selected deployment. For example:

For creating Deployment folder or MSI

To generate a deployment folder for the ASP.NET framework 4.5, you must have Visual Studio 2012 or Visual Studio 2013. In the 4.5 or later framework you can switch between these two by selecting Visual Studio 2012 or Visual Studio 2013 Solution File in the Application Wizard. Deployment in the case is handled by publishing in Visual Studio as explained at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd394698.aspx

To generate a deployment project or MSI for 4.0 or 3.5 framework, you must install Visual Studio’s respective version and the Web Deployment Projects add-in for Visual Studio
