When I am trying to build my project (inherited code) on Visual Studio 2013, I receive the following error:
Error 160 WAT080 : Failed to locate the Windows Azure SDK. Please make sure Windows Azure SDK 2.3 is installed.

The error points to the file Microsoft.WindowsAzure.targets located at
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\Windows Azure Tools\2.3.

I have installed Azure SDK 2.3 from
https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=42317
in folder
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Azure.NET SDK\v2.3.
and added it to the system path in my windows machine.
Nevertheless, I'm still getting the error.

NuGet package

Try to install local nuget package for project - this is the way recommended by Microsoft. Depending on what you exacly need, check what you can install:

Azure SDK

Install Windows Azure tools for Visual Studio

and restart Visual Studio for sure.

You should see it in TOOLS->Extensions and updates on screen like in below enter image description here
