Role in Azure Compute Emulator stuck cycling between Unknown and Destroyed states

Question

My Azure Cloud Service\'s Web Role works fine when deployed to Azure but can\'t get it running with the Emulator.

• When starting the role from within Visual Stu

Answer 1

I also found that by having a command in Microsoft.PowerShell_profile in C:\Users\MyUserName\Documents\WindowsPowerShell that prompted for input caused the Emulator to get stuck because it uses that profile just like any other PowerShell session. Removing the prompt allowed it to work properly.
