Does anybody know how to fix “Could not load file

Question

---

Microsoft Visual Studio

Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.Emulator.Controller, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

OK

Answer 1

I have found that this is due to the Windows Azure Storage Emulator not being properly installed. Normally this is installed as a dependency when you are installing the Windows Azure SDK for .NET.

Try reinstalling the SDK (which can be obtained from here). In my case, the install for the Storage Emulator failed because it was already running. A reboot may be necessary before reinstalling.
