How can I install this tool on windows? #37

I encounter the dynamic vhd uploading issue and I need this tool to upload my dynamic linux vhd. But I must use windows to do this work. Does this tool only support linux ? How can I install it on windows? Actually, I am a little disappointed at Microsoft, which I cannot do all the work by Azure Powershell CLI but to install the other tools to do the job.

The tool is written in Go so you will be able to run it in any OS that supports Go, including Windows.

Refer the readme file https://github.com/Microsoft/azure-vhd-utils/blob/master/README.md

Yes, I have read it. I installed go and gitshell and run the command (go get github.com/Microsoft/azure-vhd-utils-for-go) in gitshell but it didn't work. So I am here.

can you try from the regular Windows command prompt ?

Also just to make sure go is installed properly - can you check whether you can run basic go hello world as per https://golang.org/doc/install

Thanks. My bad. Gitshell not working, need to install git. We can close it.
