I’m currently developing with the Azure SDK on Windows 8.
I have installed the Azure SDK for VS2010 and VS2012 and have both of them on the machine. Unfortunately, whenever I click to debug my Azure web and worker roles on my local machine the storage and compute emulators boot up and then promptly cause my machine to reboot itself.
This happens in both versions of Visual Studio and I have absolutely no idea why this is happening. Any help would be much appreciated.
I do receive the following output though – I haven’t changed anything since it last worked:
Windows Azure Tools: Warning: Certificate identification setting ‘Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.RemoteAccess.PasswordEncryption’ for role ‘VizageAPIWorker’ specified in the service configuration file is not declared in the service definition file in the Certificate or as part of an SSL endpont
UPDATE:
A blank project compiles and runs with no errors whatsoever
UPDATE
Same project on a Windows 7 PC also causes this problem
Really sorry about that, I’ve fixed this with the latest version of the nuget package:
New Relic x64 for Windows Azure 1.0.0.27 – http://nuget.org/packages/NewRelicWindowsAzure
I am working on a way to avoid having to reboot at all (rebooting could add roughly 4 minutes to new deploys). The main issue is that the default configuration for an Azure cloud server marks the service “W3CSVC” as manual so issuing an iisreset alone will stop IIS completely – I’d like to replace the call with NET START as detailed here: https://github.com/newrelic/nuget-azure-cloud-services/issues/7
