Error Solved : The specified module Azure was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory

nI was trying to configure the TFS build for continuous deployment on Azure Cloud Services by following the steps mentioned in the documentation http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/common-tasks/continuous-delivery/
n
nAfter configuring everything, when I queued my build – I got this error message – The specified module Azure was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory
n
nAs soon as I looked this error I knew that this was coming from the PowerShell file named as – PublishCloudService.ps1 which you can get from the link mentioned above.
nAfter quick search – I got a link which actually resolved the issue.
n
nWhat was the issue?
n
nThe build was trying to launch the process on build server – PowerShell.exe but somehow system was not able to find the AzurePowerShell module path.
n
nSolution:
n
nOpen your PowerShell Script file and find the command Import-Module Azure and add the following line just above it
n$env:PSModulePath=$env:PSModulePath+“;”+“C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Azure\PowerShell”
n
nAfter this modification , save the file and try to queue the build again.
n
nI hope this helps someone.
