  • Article

Jim Nakashima has a handy little post here on an easy way to get all the Windows Azure tools and SDK pre-requites installed.  The secret is to use the Web Platform Installer, which you can get here.  But read Jim’s post for the step-by-step guidance, links to a few hot fixes to manually install, direct link to the Windows Azure tools, etc. 

BTW, the Web Platform Installer also gives you ASP.NET MVC, Silverlight, etc.  If you’re setting up a new machine, Jim’s post should save you a nice chunk of time.
