Start role failed for one or more roles

Question

I can't run the Windows Azure Hello World sample. It gives me the following error:

"Start role failed for one or more roles".

I put the project in the root of my D drive to be sure that path length is not an issue. I also cleared the Azure temp folder.

I am using the newly released version 1.4 of the SDK.

I followed all the instructions in the given post. None of it works.

Starting the project as a worker role does not work either. It doesn't even get to the execution of the code. Running it without debugging doesn't help either.

It's incredible that Microsoft does nothing to fix this problem. I've seen it everywhere! A lot of people has it!

The worst part is the error message itself. It doesn't seem like there is any form of logfile, and it is not providing me with a detailed error message. If I knew what was wrong, I could have fixed it myself easily. But with this error-message, they leave me guessing what's wrong, and brute-forcing every type of fix to get it working.

Any other ideas on how to fix this issue? It's bugging me quite a lot.
