title: Azure Devops Release Pipeline - Azure App Service files not updated
body: <p>Azure App Service Deploy finishes successfully, but the files were not updated.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>I'm using the pipeline step version 4.*</li>
  <li>The WebApp.zip is retrieved successfully from the build and it contains the files, but in a strange subfolder structure: <code>Content\d_C\a\1\s\Platform\Backend\Backend.WebApp</code> (my path starts at 'Platform').</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I already tried to use the WebApp release step, but it says it's not compatible with zip files. </p>
  
  <p>This is the log output of the release step:</p>
