Failed to initialize Windows Azure Storage Emulator

Question

Azure storage is located on the local sql server. I ran DSInit / sqlinstance :. which exits without errors, but when I try to start my application, I still get Failed to initialize the Windows Azure storage emulator.

Are there any other settings that I skipped?

thanks

Assuming you have SQL Express installed:

• Click Start, select All Programs, and then the Windows Azure SDK. v1.4
• Right-click the Windows Azure SDK command prompt and select Run as Administrator
• At the Windows Azure SDK command prompt window, enter the following command: DSInit /sqlInstance:<SQLServerInstance>;
