Failed to initialize Windows Azure storage emulator

Azure storage is on a local sql server. I have run DSInit /sqlinstance:. which completes without errors but when I try to run my app I still get Failed to initialize Windows Azure storage emulator.

Is there some other setting I have missed?

Thanks

Assuming you have SQL Express installed:

  1. Click Start, point to All Programs, and then click Windows Azure SDK v1.4
  2. Right-click Windows Azure SDK Command Prompt, then click Run as Administrator
  3. In the Windows Azure SDK Command Prompt window, type the following command: DSInit /sqlInstance:<SQLServerInstance>;
