Azure Compute Emulator 2.0 is not starting

Question

I've upgraded to azure sdk 2.0, but now I can see the problem. When I start compute emulator, i receive next error:

Problem signature:

Debugging in Vs gave me next error:

System.ArgumentException was unhandled
  HResult=-2147024809
  Message=Illegal characters in path.
  Source=mscorlib
  StackTrace:

       at System.IO.Path.GetFullPath(String path)
       at Microsoft.ServiceHosting.Tools.DevelopmentFabric.Program.Main(String[] args)
  InnerException: 

I've googled about "Illegal characters in path". There is advice to add environment variable _CSRUN_STATE_DIRECTORY. I've already had it and it points to c:\csrunaz\.

Uninstalling and re-installing didn't help.

Does anybody knows what to do, or at least how to see the path in CheckInvalidPathChars(String path, Boolean checkAdditional)?

Answer 1

Ok, the problem was solved after reboot and reinstall of Compute Emulator.
