Error 109 WAT080: Could not find Windows Azure SDK 2.1 on Visual Studio 2013

Question

I have Visual Studio 2013 with update 3 installed. The first time I opened my project, I was asked to download and install Azure SDK 2.2, and so I did. When I tried to build, it fails and gives me this error message:

Error 109 WAT080: Could not find the Windows Azure SDK. Verify that the Windows Azure SDK v2.1 is installed.

So, I installed the SDK 2.1, but the build still fails with the same error. These are my installed azure SDKs: 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4. I also confirmed that the folders of each version are missing here: C: \ Program Files (x86) \ MSBuild \ Microsoft \ VisualStudio \ v12.0 \ Windows Azure Tools

We started the cloud project, which is the MVC site in the third quarter of 2013, when Windows Azure 2.2 was released, and I had no problems.

Is it possible that these Azure SDKs are conflicting?

Answer 1

Now it is fixed. Unfortunately, you can no longer find the Azure SDK 2.2 for VS 2013 and older in the web platform installer. Therefore, you need to manually install all the components (according to the version).

I noticed that this folder is missing. C: \ Program Files \ Microsoft SDK \ Windows Azure.NET SDK \ v2.2

This means that WindowsAzureLibsForNet-x64.msi is not yet installed. You can download it here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40893 .

I saw resolved topics about this, but the solution was not decided for everyone. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I had to restart Visual Studio after installing the Azure SDK. ServiceHostingSDKBinDir was set fine in msbuild, but not in VS.

Answer 3

I added C: \ Program Files \ Microsoft SDKs \ Windows Azure.NET SDK \ v2.3 (or any other sdk that you need, for example, 2.2, 2.4) to the system path, and it found that the VS2013 problem is not in able to find the SDK.

After I changed the system path, I had to restart VS2013.
