RE: Azure Compute Emulator

Question

Saturday, February 10, 2018 5:13 PM

Is this tool still supported? I'm upgrading to Visual Studio 2017 and when I minimize the Compute Emulator, it will not run. 

Is still supported, what is needed to make it work?

This has nothing to do with Hyper-V but I appreciate your comments. 

I did turn on Virtualization(VTx & VTd) in the Bios. Mine was off and then I created a project in Visual Studio and added WCF and Worker Roles to a Cloud Project and then hit F5 and this enabled the service.

I did learn something new about the Hyper-V manager on W10 so I'm very, very grateful for that experience. Thanks for your help.

Also, I think after you use it once the service is enabled.

Run the Azure Compute Emulator as an Administrator in Full mode and let me know the status.

The first article is useful and I will add to it but they still don't have a solution. 

The second one is for Visual Studio 2013 and I'm on 2017 now.

Hi ResidentX10,

I check “Microsoft Azure Compute Emulator” in my side, it works fine when I minimize the it.

As far as I know, “Microsoft Azure Compute Emulator” is a service, please right click blue Windows icon, and choose “Show Computer Emulator UI” when the Computer Emulator is started.

Judyzh

I just installed Visual Studio with a new version of Windows about 2 weeks ago. I had them confirm it wasn't working on the new connect site. Just curious, what version of windows, visual studio and the compute version do you have?


Wednesday, February 14, 2018 12:55 PM

In the past, I saw them tell users to uninstall it from VStudio and install from a location but when I went there to do the same, the download was removed so this is why I'm asking the questions. 

Honestly, I just want this to work. I'm trying to not open forum tickets. 

EDIT: When I get back to the office. I'll see if the service is active or disabled.

Hi ResidentX10,

>> Just curious, what version of windows, visual studio and the compute version do you have?

My environment is Windows 10 Enterprise, 64-bit Operating System, Visual Studio Enterprise 2017 version 15.5.6, Microsoft Azure Compute Emulator version 2.9.0.0.

What’s the version of your “Microsoft Azure Compute Emulator”?

I find following feedback about “Microsoft Azure Compute Emulator” might helpful for you, please have a look at it.

I'm re-imaging and doing the Azure SDK first 


Thursday, February 15, 2018 2:03 PM

I wiped clean and reinstalled everything last night and the emulator still will not work. 


Friday, February 16, 2018 6:53 AM

Hi ResidentX10,

What’s the version of your Azure SDK?

Please install Azure SDK v2.9, check the result.

If above method won’t help, please uninstall Microsoft Azure Compute Emulator from the Control Panel – Add/Remove programs. Then, reinstall it use Visual Studio Installer, please refer to following screenshot.

I did all that already but I'll try it again on the freshly wiped machine. 


Saturday, February 17, 2018 3:11 AM

Can you tell me what kind of hardware you are running? I'm on a HP Zbook Studio. I just want to see if maybe this is tied to Microsoft Hardware to run.

I didn't understand this,  "My computer is Hyper-V video?" Is is a VM or real machine? How do I turn on Hyper-V in W10?
