I am facing this problem when I try to publish my web application on Windows Azure via Visual Studio 2010. I am trying by right click on project and select publish and importing
I want to share my solution with the same problem. Also
MsDepSvc (Web Deployment Agent Service)
and WMSvc (Web Management Service)
were running on the remote VM and Visual Studio 2015 still returns an error.
I go to Azure portal
> All Resources
> Find my Network Security Group
and click on it. > Inbound security rules
and add new rule:
Name: your choice.
Source: Any.
Service: Custom
Protocol: Any
Port range: 8172
Action : Allow
