Error after updating to the latest version Azure SDK

Question

After I updated to the newest version the Azure SDK I have started to get this error several times each day when I press build in Visual Studio. The only way for me to fix it at the moment is to restart my visual studio.

The error I get is: Windows Azure Tools: Invalid access to memory location

Is there someone else that have got this error? And also what did you do to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

Update 2012-08-28: The same error still exist in VS2012 and Azure 1.7 SDK. However the frequency have gone down with VS2012.

Answer 1

I've had the same problem as you, and I've tried it all.

Upgrading, downgrading, reboot, re-install. Getting all windows updates and so on.

But I finaly found what was causing my problems. It was the database, or I should say my sql express database that was causing the problem.

Azure SDK will by default create the DB that it needs on a express edition. After changing what DB azure should use, everything works perfectly.

Details on how to switch to another DB:
