From Cloudy in Seattle: The Easy Way to Install the Windows Azure Tools and SDK Pre-Requisites
Jim Nakashima has a handy little post here on an easy way to get all the Windows Azure tools and SDK pre-requites installed. The secret is to use the Web Platform Installer, which you can get here. But read Jim’s post for the step-by-step guidance, links to a few hot fixes to manually install, direct link to the Windows Azure tools, etc.
BTW, the Web Platform Installer also gives you ASP.NET MVC, Silverlight, etc. If you’re setting up a new machine, Jim’s post should save you a nice chunk of time.
