Azure emulator storage installation error

Question

I've installed Windows Azure SDK v2.2, all good.

But when I'm trying to launch Windows Azure Emulator v.2.2 it asks me to browse emulator.6492.fre.rd_dk_stable_v2r2.130926-0939-x64.msi package.

I don't have it on my machine and I don't know where to get it.

Who did also face to this problem?

Answer 1

The workaround I've used for this is:

1. Start Windows Azure Command Prompt as an admin
2. Enter csrun /devstore:start

It seems that it all works fine behind the scenes, it's just the shortcut that's broken.

Answer 2

Another option, create a shortcut to C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SDKs\\Windows Azure\\Emulator\\csmonitor.exe onto your taskbar. Then start it in admin mode by CTRL + SHIFT clicking it.
