I am looking to install the newest version of the Azure SDK which is version 2.3. Can this run side by side with Azure SDK 2.0?
When you install the SDK, there're two things which gets installed -
Some libraries & helper utilities.
Emulators (compute and storage).
At any point of time, the emulator you have is that of the latest version. So if you have installed SDK 2.0 and then install SDK 2.3, you will have the libraries & utilities for both 2.0 and 2.3 so that you can reference libraries from that SDK in your application and use the utilities there but the emulator would be of version 2.3.
For example, please take a look at the screenshot below. I have SDK 2.3 installed on my computer.

I'm migrating from VS2015 to VS2017, and updating a repo's solutions to be able to be compatible with VS2017. In the process, I'm also updating the Azure SDK version from 2.7 to 3.0.
I'm setting up a fresh dev environment, and installed Azure SDK 3.0 via VS2017's Azure development workload.
When I opened the solution file in the repo, I got one notice per cloud service project that its Microsoft Azure Tools version was getting upgraded from 2.7 to 2.9...
...and the ProductVersion tag in the corresponding .csproj files was updated from 2.7 to 2.9.
Questions:
Why wasn't this updated to 3.0?
Is there anyway for me to update it
to 3.0 without manually editing the csproj file? I don't see an
option to do so in Properties when I right click the cloud service
projects in Solution Explorer.
Is there some reason I shouldn't be
doing this?
"Microsoft Azure Tools - v2.9" mentioned in your screenshot is just a little misleading.
Underlying reason is that Microsoft hasn't really changed the version number of most components as part of 3.0 SDK release. Even the binaries get installed in the same folder as 2.9.
Good news is that you don't need to do anything special apart from converting the project to target latest version, which you're already getting prompted for.
So once you do convert your project as per the prompt, you're essentially working with SDK 3.0, even though version string says v2.9, because as the links explain, most of the components haven't changed major version number as part of SDK 3.0 version (when comparing with 2.9)
Here are some of the links which talk about this -
Azure SDK for .NET 3.0 Release Summary
No breaking changes to the Azure SDK 3.0 have been introduced in this
release. There is also no upgrade process needed to leverage this SDK
with existing Cloud Service projects. To allow use of the Azure SDK
3.0 without requiring an upgrade process, Azure SDK 3.0 installs to the same directories as Azure SDK 2.9. Most the components did not
change the major version from 2.9 but instead just updated the build
number.
Visual Studio 2017 latest installer does not install Azure SDK 3.0

Azure 3.0 SDK Install Weirdness

Whenever i try to run/debug an Azure Function project in Visual Studio 2017 i get an error stating that i need .Net Framework 4.7.1 (which i can't install due to have preinstalled windows 10 Enterprise in my working machine by company policy),I'm using Azure Functions and Web Tools Extension version 15.0.40608.0, anyone can help me with a workaround on this matter ?
If you got exactly this error message
The reference assemblies for framework ".NETFramework,Version=v4.7.1" were not found. To resolve this, install the SDK or Targeting Pack for this framework version or retarget your application to a version of the framework for which you have the SDK or Targeting Pack installed. ...
You can try to change your target framework to a version you have installed, like the error suggests.
Right click on your project, Edit FunctionProjectName.csproj, find <TargetFramework>net471</TargetFramework>, change it to the version installed, like net461.
If you can't run this project correctly on lower version of .Net Framework, as rickvdbosch says, it might be required to update your Windows and install the SDK or modify your code to make it compatible on lower version.
I'm trying to install the azure 2.7 for vs 2015 from this Link.
But when I run the installer it automatically shows the latest version (2.9), i've tried to use Microsoft Web installer but it do not shows the version 2.7.
Is there any way to install that specific version?
Thanks.
You can skip the Web Platform Installer and download the different parts that make up the Microsoft Azure SDK for .NET - 2.7 here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48178
We have two Azure cloud service solutions currently using Storage SDK 2.2. We are upgrading to Storage SDK 2.6 but cannot upgrade and support existing version from the same development environment. If the emulator is upgraded the solution with the older SDK binaries fails. Likewise, the newer SDK binaries do not work with the older emulator.
What is suggested for a mixed SDK version scenario like this? Are separate development environment really required?
I am very confused. I had the 1.6 library and then upgraded to 1.7.
Now I see the following:
Windows Azure SDK for Windows 8 and .NET 4(2.0.0.0)
Is this the latest library and is it just for Windows 8? I'm sorry but it's not very clear. When I try to download that it takes me to a web page with a link to download and no application. When I try for help it points me to stackoverflow.
Windows Azure SDK for Windows 8 and .NET 4 (2.0.0.0)
is probably
October 2012 Release (Version 1.8)
which is the latest release as of now (2012-12-04).
The version scheme changed a bit (e.g. storage client dll is now 2.0 because of breaking changes) while other parts remain unchanged/compatible (1.7/1.8) (see Windows Azure SDK and Tools).
The azure SDKs/client libraries should not depend on Windows 8.
