Windows Azure for PHP: Compute emulator error

While carefully doing the steps on 'Build and deploy a Windows Azure PHP application' page on URL 'http://azurephp.interoperabilitybridges.com/articles/build-and-deploy-a-windows-azure-php-application', I encounter the following errors in doing the 'Run the PHP application in the local development environment' step when running the command:

package create -in="C:\temp\WindowsAzurePHPApp" -out="C:\temp\WindowsAzurePHPApp\build" -dev=true

C:\>package create -in="C:\temp\WindowsAzurePHPApp" -out="C:\temp\WindowsAzurePH

What is on line 15 of your ServiceDefinition.csdef file? I am guessing it will be the following

<Variable name="EMULATED"> <RoleInstanceValue xpath="/RoleEnvironment/Deployment/@emulated" /> </Variable>

Try commenting out that entire section by wrapping it with the normal HTML comment tags () and run the package command again.
