Windows Azure SDK + Visual Studio 2008 Error

Posted on by John Rockefeller

Error creating Windows Azure project in VS2008. Help!

This is not a typical blog post for this blog and I apologize for this one in advance. I’ve been working with some friends from Coffee and Code on gearing up Azure development and I need the community’s help. Your help.

I’ve freshly installed a copy of Windows 7 in VirtualBox. I’ve installed Visual Studio 2008 Professional and its SP1. I’ve also selected .NET framework 3.5 from the Windows features menu. I’ve reinstalled DX11 and Uninstalled then reinstalled the Azure SDK and the Azure VS2008 tools.

Every time I go to create a new project I get this error:

'Grid' object cannot be added to 'Grid'.
Exception from HRESULT: 0x88980406.
Error at object 'System.Windows.Controls.Grid' in markup file.
'Microsoft.VisualStudio.CloudService.Wizard;component/newprojectdialogcontent.xaml'.

After I click OK (the only option available), Visual Studio shows the message in the status bar:

Creating project AppTest ... project creation failed.

I’ve searched on the web and asked around to find a fix for this error as I’d really like to get going on Azure development. Can anyone in the community help me?

Rpmdrake or one of its priority dependencies needs to be updated first. Rpmdrake will then restart.

If you ever go to add or remove software in Mandriva Linux and receive that error message, try this:

  1. Open up Konsole.
  2. Type “su” and enter your root password to move to the root account.
  3. Type “urpmi rpmdrake” and complete the install of the rpmdrake program.

For some reason, rpmdrake may get corrupted or may never have been installed. Regardless, this solved this error message for me and it may for you. Good luck!
