I'm opening a solution which has a dependency on an outdated version of the Azure SDK such that Web PI wont install it.

This leaves me with the following error when I build the project:

WAT080 : Failed to locate the Microsoft Azure SDK. Please make sure the Microsoft Azure SDK v2.7 is installed.

What's the least amount of

  • steps I need to execute and
  • junk I can put into my environment

to make it load in VS and compile?

Navigate to the archived downloads page: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/downloads/archive-net-downloads/

  1. Follow the trail via the appropriate Azure SDK for .NET (As of Mar 2017, v2.7.1 is here)
  2. Click the download button
  3. Select MicrosoftAzureAuthoringTools-x64.msi
  4. Select MicrosoftAzureLibsForNet-x64.msi <- x86 is not useful
  5. Select MicrosoftAzureTools.VS140.exe <- 14:- VS 2015

I downloaded and installed each separately

HACK: My installation of VS2015 was slightly mangled, so I was still seeing a message from VS offering to install the 2.7 tools. I was able to get over that by installing the latest (2.9 at time of writing) tools, whereupon I got a clean build. I'll be doing a clean reinstall of VS and will research whether that can be avoided
