msdeploy

I am trying to setup the TFS automated deploys. But I keep getting the following error message when running the deploy.

It appears that I have a service called "Web Management Service", but the error message says that I need "We Deploy Agent Service".

I tried installing Web Deploy 2.0, but the server said that I already had this installed.

What can I do to fix this problem?

Error Code: ERROR_DESTINATION_NOT_REACHABLE
Could not connect to the destination computer ("myServer"). On the destination computer, make sure that Web Deploy is installed and that the required process ("Web Deployment Agent Service") is started.

--Update-- Looks like the Web Deployment agent is not installed by default. I had to re-install MSDeploy, select Change or Custom, then add the Web Deploy Agent service. Now the deploy works correctly.
