The following are the absolute minimum software requirements to install the Azure CTP bits. Without them, the bits won’t install.
- Windows Vista w/ SP 1
- Visual Studio 2008 or Visual Web Developer w/ SP 1
- .NET 3.5 Framework w/SP 1 (should be included with the Visual Studio SP1 install)
Once you have these installed, you should have no problems installing the bits.

I just received my invite to the Windows Azure CTP.
During the CTP, I get the following:
- Total compute usage: 2000 VM hours (83.3 days running 24/7)
- Cloud storage capacity: 50GB
- Total storage bandwidth: 20GB/day
I plan to start messing around with this over the weekend. I’ll post my experience & thoughts then.
