I just installed Windowsazure SDK 1.5 and respective tools for Visualstudio 2010. But when i run the compute emulator it gives me the following exception:
Encountered an unexpected error The given path’s format is not supported. at

What is the fix for this weird exception?
I fixed it. The problem was I had an environment variable that has some invalid location and when trying to parse compute emulator is failed.
