How to upgrade an Azure 2.3 project to Azure 2.4?

Question

I just formatted my computer, installed VS2013 U3 and then Azure SDK 2.4.1 (via WebPI).

Opened up my solution and all my azure cloud services failed to load :

Azure Cloud Services\\MyProjectFoo.ccproj: The application which this project type is based on was not found. Please try this link for further information: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=299083&projecttype=CC5FD16D-436D-48AD-A40C-5A424C6E3E79

Awesome... Not.

Can someone please tell me how I can 'upgrade' my projects, please?

Answer 1

Figured it out.

I installed (in order)

• Visual Studio 2013
• Microsoft Azure SDK 2.4.1 (The red box...)

thinking that 2.4.1 was all the tooling, etc.. but it's not!

So after I installed Microsoft Azure Tools 2.4 for MS Visual Studio 2013 ... restarted VS and opened my solution, I was then asked to upgrade my azure clients!

Conclusion

the SDK != VS tooling.
