Error while deploying web role - Invalid application runtime - a runtime component is missing:/base/x64/IISConfigurator.exe

Question

I have Azure SDK 2.5 installed and when I try and publish my web role from VS 2013, it fails. When I manually upload the package and config through the Azure Portal I get the error:  "Invalid application runtime - a runtime component is missing:/base/x64/IISConfigurator.exe".

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the Azure SDK with no change in the error.

Any ideas how I can troubleshoot this?

Answer 1

Have you tried Rebuilding the Package.
Else try uninstallting the SDK and downloading a fresh copy from http://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/downloads/

Answer 2

I uninstalled the SDK, and tried to create a new cloud servce using the WCF service project template. The new project still gives me the same error:

The file provided is not a valid service package. Detailed error code: WCFServiceWebRole1 Invalid application runtime - a runtime component is missing:/base/x64/IISConfigurator.exe.

Answer 3

So I created another new cloud service project, this time selecting SDK version 2.3, and it seems to be working.  Must be a glitch in 2.5

Update:  This got past the initial error, but it caused other problems further down the path.
