web.config transform not working when publishing

I have a solution with multiple projects, the transforms work in other projects but not this one. What could be the reason?

The project is an MVC 4 application

The configuration manager for the solution shows that when the solution configuration is LIVE then it should use the LIVE configuration for the project.

There is a Web.config, Web.Live.config, Web.Stage.config

In the Web.Live.config I have this code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">

  <system.web>
    <compilation debug="false" xdt:Transform="SetAttributes"></compilation>
  </system.web>

  <system.webServer>
    <rewrite>
      <rules>
        <clear />
        <rule name="Redirect to https" stopProcessing="true">
          <match url="(.*)" />
          <conditions>
            <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" ignoreCase="true" />
          </conditions>
          <action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}{REQUEST_URI}" redirectType="Permanent" appendQueryString="false" />
        </rule>
      </rules>
    </rewrite>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

I publish it to my web server, ensuring the configuration is set to Live.

The web config on the server does not contain the transformations.

Any ideas?

I've solved this, it seems in this situation I had to add xdt:Transform="Insert" to the <rewrite> tag.

I don't know why I need that considering the default template for a transformed config file contains markup that inserts code without such an attribute that works ok...
