Good news! The Azure team at Microsoft Just released the new and improved Windows Azure Tools and SDK. From now on, you only have to download the Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio and the SDK will be installed as part of that package. Still not sure if it works in Windows 7.
Udate: This CTP does not fix the issue with Windows 7. Seems like the issue is within Windows 7 and should be fixed in the next Windows 7 release. There are no changes within the March CTP that would address the issue blocking the use on Windows 7.
What’s new in Windows Azure SDK
- Support for developing Managed Full Trust applications. It also provides support for Native Code via PInvokes and spawning native processes.
- Support for developing FastCGI applications, including support for rewrite rules via URL Rewrite Module.
- Improved support for the integration of development storage with Visual Studio, including enhanced performance and support for SQL Server (only local instance).
What’s new in Windows Azure Tools for Visual Studio
- Combined installer includes the Windows Azure SDK
- Addressed top customer bugs.
- Native Code Debugging.
- Update Notification of future releases.
