Windows Azure Service Management Cmdlets are update for Windows Azure SDK 1.3

 

Until today February
7th, 2011 morning, if you had tried to compile the Windows Azure
Cmdlets with Windows Azure SDK 1.3 you must have encountered that
compilation is not successful. Further investigation related to compilation
failure reveled the following problem:

 

The Windows Azure
Cmdlets project AzureManagementTools.Cmdlets
contains a reference to Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient.dll
which still has dependency on Windows SDK 1.2 based Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient.dll
(Version 1.0.0.0) and because in Windows Azure SDK 1.3 this Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient.dll
(Version=1.1.0.0) is updated which cause this
compilation problem.

 

Here is a VERY
GOOD NEWS.

 

Windows Azure team
just updated Windows Azure Cmddlets to be compiled with Windows Azure SDK
1.3. The updated cmdlets project is located at the same place as below:
