Now that .NET 4.5 and Visual Studio 2012 has RTM, is there a way to use it on Windows Azure yet? I’m aware of the hacks people used for .NET 4.5 RC, but I’m looking for a clean solution.
If it isn’t possible yet, does anyone know when the tools, etc. will be updated to support it?
At the moment there is no way to use .NET 4.5 out-of-the-box on Windows Azure. What you can do is use the Windows Azure Bootstrapper to download .NET 4.5 and install it:
Besides that I would keep an eye out for updates related to .NET 4.5 on the Guest OS Releases page.
Update 3-sep-2012: Have you seen this message: “Beginning October 3rd 2012, Windows Azure will no longer support Cloud Services (Hosted Services) deployed on Guest OS versions 2.9 or older and 1.17 or older.“. This might indicate a change in Guest OS versions on October 3rd (maybe with support for .NET 4.5)…
Update 18-sep-2012: Confirmation from Scott Guthrie that .NET 4.5 support is due for October 2012.
