When I add the File System Durability Plugin to a project in Visual Studio, I am unable to run the project using the Compute Emulator (Azure SDK 1.6). After several minutes, the following message is displayed in Visual Studio:
---------------------------
Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio

Role instances are taking longer than expected to start. Do you want to continue waiting?
---------------------------
Yes No
---------------------------

I've clicked "Yes" multiple times, but the project never starts. Removing the File System Durability plug-in resolves the issue.
