Hi guys;

I'm trying to deploy my asp.net core 2.0 web site and I'm having the following error.

Unhandled Exception: System.FormatException: The short switch '-argFile' is not defined in the switch mappings.

Thanks for the help;

I found the issue.

Just remove the: -argFile IISExeLauncherArgs.txt on my web.config file.

So is this an issue with the way Visual Studio 2017 Publishes the site?
