How to overcome : Failed to generate Azure Service package?

Question

Am trying to enable remote desktop for a Cloud Service and Publish it.

• Added the remote user, and the cscfg is updated.

• Enable-AzureServiceProjectRemoteDesktop ( Prompts for user name and password )

• Imported Publish Settings file and Selected the Subscription to Deploy

• Used Publish-AzureServiceProject which is causing the below issue

  Publish-AzureServiceProject : Failed to generate package. Error: Microsoft(R) Azure(TM) Packaging Tool version 2.5.0.0 for Microsoft(R) .NET Framework 4.0 Copyright c Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. cspack.exe: Error : CloudServices : Cannot find role entrypoint assembly xxxxxxxxxx. Please provide the name of a binary (typically in the root or inside the bin directory) that will be hosted outside the IIS worker process. ." At line:1 char:1

  • ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    • CategoryInfo : CloseError: (:) [Publish-AzureServiceProject], InvalidOperationException
    • FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Commands.CloudService.PublishAzureServiceProjectCommand
