I've recently tried to deploy a website to the Windows Azure websites service which utilizes Azure Storage. Upon deployment, I received the following error coming from the Storage SDK, which seems to reference a version of an assembly that doesn't yet exist. I have not been able to find this version of the DLL file anywhere. Any suggestions?

Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Data.Services.Client, Version=5.6.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Storage client library has a dependency on this assembly and unfortunately it's not downloaded automatically when you install the library through Nuget. You would need to get this package yourself. You can download this package from here: http://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Data.Services.Client/.
