DevMagazineSite Sitefinity 9.1 - Initialization failed
I am trying to get the DevMagazineSite to run on my local box with SF 9.1
Using Visual Studio 2015 Professional, locally installed Sql Server 2014, with the database bak restored.
I open the solution and run it, projects compiles, cogwheels then:
Initialization failed
The type initializer for 'Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime.RoleEnvironment' threw an exception.
Hello,
Can you please verify or (re-)install the Windows Azure SDK for .NET for Visual Studio?
http://docs.sitefinity.com/reference-windows-azure-sdk-supported-versions
This solved the issue for me.

Now it seems to get beyond the initial initialization but I get the following
You have requested a file from older product minor version(ProductMinorVersionId = 4513, ProductId = 725)
I am using the version 9.1 trail version
Try to put your licence file inside this folder App_Data\Sitefinity and restart application
And be sure, that you have correct licence key. I mean, from version 9.1
So I suppose it that means that the Devmagazine site will not work with the trail version ... it may help if you'll put that out there ...
Hi,
The requirement of having a Sitefinity CMS license is mentioned among the requirements on the documentation page;
Sitefinity CMS license
.NET Framework 4
Visual Studio 2012
Microsoft SQL Server Express and SQL Server 2008R2 or later versions
So I would like to get this DevMagazine up and running on my local machine so that I can learn from it. I did see the requirements for a Sitefinity CMS License. I have a license for the project I am working on. It is the latest release of Sitefinity. Am I supposed to use that license for this tutorial/sample site? Or should I download a trial key for it? Any guidance would be appreciated.
Hi Jason,
Yes, you can use your licence for DevMagazine
