Azure Storage Explorer: server encountered internal error


I am getting the 'unable to retreive child resources" error when I click to expand the Emulator-default port=> tables node in Azure Storage Explorer(version 1.6.2). However the azure table storage emulator has been initialized and is running.

Update: I deleted the %appdata%/storageexplorer folder(as suggested in my microsoft forums) and i face the same issue as before.

What am i missing?

Solution

  • i was able to get the application working by

    a. removing LocalDB database, 
    b. deleting the localdb created mdf, ldf files, 
    c. installing "SQL server Express" and manually creating the database that the Azure Storage explorer needed, and then configuring Azure Storage explorer to work with "SQL server Express"
