Windows Azure Storage Emulator failed to install

Question

I almost wasted my whole day trying to install Windows Azure Storage Emulator but somehow it is not getting installed..

The log is showing me this error : Sql instan

Answer 1

To keep my laptop responsive during startup, I have changed the sqlserver (express) service startup to manual during its installation. Emulator failed without any error that sql server is not running. On seeing this question, I realized to start the sql server service and then, the installation (emulator 3.2) wen through.
