title: Azure Storage Emulator has stopped working
body: <p>When I try to debug the Windows Azure application using VS 2010, the following error dialog, titled <code>Windows Azure Storage Emulator</code> appears:</p>
  
  <p><code>The 'system.serviceModel/services' configuration section cannot be created. The machine.config file is missing information. Verify that this configuration section is properly registered and that you have correctly spelled the section name. For Windows Communication Foundation sections, run ServiceModelReg.exe -i to fix this error.</code></p>
  
  <p>Immediatelly I get notification that storage emulator has stopped working.</p>
  
  <p>Attaching a debugger shows the following information:</p>
  
  <p><code>An unhandled exception ('System.Configuration.ConfigurationerrorsException') occured in DSService.exe [7000].</code></p>
  
  <p>I run Visual Studio as administrator. Tried doing the <code>DSInit</code> before and the database was successfully created but that did not solve the problem.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions?</p>
  
  <p>Edit: the SQLEXPRESS is running and I disabled the SQLSERVER instance to leave only the SQLEXPRESS but the problem is the same. Maybe there is some kind of configuration somewhere to tell the Azure emulator which server to use?</p>
  
  <p>This problem looks very similar to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7083505/how-to-fix-error-running-storage-emulator-for-azure-in-vs-2010">How to fix error running storage emulator for Azure in VS 2010?</a>. I had same errors when I used incorrect server name in <code>DSIinit</code> but it does not apply in my case.</p>
