What's the minimum set of tools I need to open Windows Azure samples shipped by Microsoft?

I wanted to try open "Hello World" from here. I already had Visual Studio 2010 installed. I went here and downloaded WindowsAzureSDK-x86.exe and installed the SDK.

Yet when I double click the .sln in the sample Visual Studio opens the .csproj (the project with web role) just fine but complains it can't open the .ccproj file because its project type is not supported by this version of the application.

What else do I have to install so that I can open that .ccproj project file?

You need the Windows Azure SDK+tools. The easiest way to do this is to visit here and select "Get Tools and SDK." This will fire up the Web Platform Installer, which should do a much better job of setting up your environment.

A few more things: You'll need SQL Express (or SQL Server) installed as well. I "think" the Web Platform Installer will take care of that for you, but I'm not 100% sure. Also, you'll need to run Visual Studio as Administrator, to allow it to properly interact with the local Windows Azure simulator.

Turns out I needed to also install the thing called "VSCloudService.exe" on the same page. Once I installed it .ccproj files open just fine.
