Can you provide instructions for installing SplendidCRM on Windows Azure, and SQL Azure? Does it need to be installed by remoting into a VM (beta program) or can it run on a standard compute instance?  I'm sure the SQL Azure component is more straight forward.

Does a guide exist to get this done?

First deploy to SQL Azure using SQL Studio to connect to SQL Azure and execute the Build.sql file in the SplendidCRM SQL Scripts folder. If the file does not exist, create it using the Build.bat file. Once you have the SQL Azure database, use the connection information and place inside the Web.config.

Now you are ready to deploy to Windows Azure. You do this using Visual Studio by opening the special Azure project. They you just follow the normal Azure deployment procedures provided by the Windows Azure team.

The only thing I appear to be able to download is a single installation file that installs the server product on my local machine.  Is this something I need to install to gain access to the script files you mention above?

The Community downloads include a 32-bit installer, a 64-bit installer and an upgrade installer. All you need is the smaller upgrade since you will not be installing SQL Server 32-bit or 64-bit. Run the upgrade, but after the files have been copied, abort the SplendidCRM Configuration Wizard. At this point you will have all the files you need to deploy to Azure.

I was able to get the database created in SQL Azure.   I found the SplendidCRM7_Azure.csproj and opened it, but it did not appear to be a completed Azure solution.   I right-clicked the project in solution explorer and converted it to a Web Project which i believe is a requirement for azure.  Afterward I was able to right click and add the Azure Roles and Configuration components.  I feel like I might be close, but recieve errors when I try to build/debug.   Can you tell me if I went off course?  Is there a deployment guide that can walk me through the steps in a more detailed way?
