Answer 1

If you install Web Deploy 3.5 BEFORE Web Management Tools are installed, you'll have to re-install it. I beat my head against the wall for hours on this. Install the Web Management Services (Roles -> Web Server > Management Tools > Management Services). Then uninstall Web Deploy (repair didn't work), and then install it again. Fixed. /Sigh
