Windows Azure Tools 1.6 - Fatal Error 0x80070643

I was trying to install Windows Azure Tools 1.6 on one of my build agents but was getting a Fatal Error during installation

I tried various uninstallations and installations but nothing seemed to work.
The log file didn't point to anything specifc but then I found this in the log file:
[0F28:0D3C][2012-07-26T19:24:54]: Setting string variable 'WixBundleLog_CctSetup.Shared' to value 'C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp\2\Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010_-_November 2011_20120726192451_0_CctSetup.Shared.log'

I opened CctSetup.Shared.log file and found:
MSI (s) (54:10) [19:24:54:839]: Product: Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Core -- Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Core requires the Windows Azure Emulator.  Please install the Windows Azure Emulator and try again.
Action ended 19:24:54: LaunchConditions. Return value 3.
Action ended 19:24:54: INSTALL. Return value 3.
MSI (s) (54:10) [19:24:54:839]: Note: 1: 1708
MSI (s) (54:10) [19:24:54:839]: Product: Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Core -- Installation failed.


This reminded me that I had installed the Windows Azure SDK but not Windows Azure Emulator.
I installed Windows Azure Emulator and then the installation of Windows Azure Tools 1.6 was successful.

  1. Thanks. CctSetup.Shared.log indication was helpful. I didn't get the exact error. But definitely your post helped me in the right direction.
