All of the above did not work for me, this is the solution that worked:

# get msdeploy exe
$MSDeploy = ${env:ProgramFiles}, ${env:ProgramFiles(x86)} |
        ForEach-Object {Get-ChildItem -Path $_ -Filter 'MSDeploy.exe' -Recurse} |
        Sort-Object -Property @{Expression={[version]$_.VersionInfo.FileVersion}} -Descending |
        Select-Object -First 1 -ExpandProperty FullName

#build deploy command        
$deplyCmd = """""$MSDeploy"" -verb:sync -dest:iisApp=""Default Web Site"" -enableRule:DoNotDeleteRule -source:iisApp=""$ExtraWebFilesFolder"""    

#execute    
&cmd /c $deplyCmd
