I am trying to deploy an ASP .NET MVC4 application to Windows Azure, I have a startup task which installs

Wating for Role to start…System start up tasks are running

Sites were deployed…

    I got the solution, the issue was the permission of the user ( i think its ‘system’) who runs the start-up task to install MVC4. I have updated my start-up script (installmvc4-main.cmd) to do the following:

    1. Creates another script ‘installmvc4-impl.cmd’ which invokes the a power shell script ‘installmvc4.ps1’ with execution policy set to unrestricted.

    2. Creates a powershell script ‘installmvc4.ps1’ to install mvc4 using the installer included in the package (I downloaded it from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30683)

    3. Creates a user, add it to administrator group and schedule a task to run ‘installmvc4-impl.cmd’ using this user.

    Here the script ‘installmvc4-main.cmd’:

    REM Create dos script installmvc4-impl.cmd to invoke the powershell script to install MVC4

echo if "%%EMULATED%%"=="true" goto :EOF > %~dp0installmvc4-impl.cmd
echo powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted %~dp0installmvc4.ps1 ^> installmvc4.ps1.log 2^>^&1 >> %~dp0\installmvc4-impl.cmd
echo exit ^/B 0 >> %~dp0installmvc4-impl.cmd

REM Create the powershell script installmvc4.ps1 to install MVC4

echo Invoke-Expression "%~dp0AspNetMVC4Setup.exe /q /norestart" > %~dp0installmvc4.ps1

REM Create an admin user and schedule task using this user to run the script that install MVC4

net user anuchandy Admin!@#123 /add
net localgroup Administrators aunchandy /add
schtasks /CREATE /TN "install-mvc4-task" /SC ONCE /SD 01/01/2020 /ST 00:00:00 /RL HIGHEST /RU anuchandy /RP Admin!@#123 /TR "%~dp0\installmvc4-impl.cmd" /F
schtasks /RUN /TN "install-mvc4-task"

    Note: Make sure the character encoding of the srartup task installmvc4-main.cmd is ANSI.
