Hi

I am not able to run my Application on my machine. It gives me the below error

"Microsoft Azure Tools: Failed to initialize Microsoft Azure storage emulator. The storage emulator needs to be initialized. Please run the 'init' command. An unknown error has occurred."

I tired to initiate the storage using command prompt "WAStorageEmulator.exe init", it also fired the same error like "No SQL Instance was found".

Also i tried to stop, delete and create the local db. Nothing worked

Got the same error again.

Thnaks

Mohammed

Hi Mohammed,

When you say my machine, are you running this app in a local machine and not an Azure VM?
Do you have an SQL server installed in your machine?
