Please can you tell me when the next version of azure storage emulator (4.4) will be included on your build worker image.

We run some tests that require it and a recent update to the storage client libraries means these no longer work. It seems the latest storage emulator is required with the latest azure storage client libraries.

   Hi David,

   There was an issue with Azure Storage Emulator 4.4: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37440028/azure-storage-emulator-...

   Is it still the case?

   In the meantime, you can install Azure Storage Emulator 4.4 during the build with the following PS script:

   $msiPath = "$($env:USERPROFILE)\MicrosoftAzureStorageEmulator.msi"
   (New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/B/5/7B53AA52-9519-467C-8DC7-1A1FF72500D9/MicrosoftAzureStorageEmulator.msi', $msiPath)
   cmd /c start /wait msiexec /i $msiPath /quiet
   

   Tested here: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/FeodorFitsner/simple-console/build/...

   Thanks I just went down the path of installing via command line and it appears to be working and appveyor download. But wasn't sure it would work.

   Then i cam back here and read your solution suggesting a similar solution except with powershell, the technology I wish i'd chosen for our scripts. ;-)

   Anyhow I'm not sure about that specific issue. Certainly we are not having issue uploading blobs to version 4.4. We had an issue with blob requests full-stop but that was due to the fact we were trying to use our existing sql databases with the emulator. It appears the schema changed in v4.4.
