Answer 1

The problem with this issue was it is not properly installed that referenced version of Azure Function Tools. So when it was downloaded partially it is not even trying to re-install it. So I was able to re-install it by doing the following workaround.

1. Removed the existing installation folder (C:\Users\SithiraP\AppData\Local\AzureFunctionsTools\Releases\3.23.4)

2. Created a new Azure Function app from visual studio. (It is downloading again Azure Function Tools when creating a new Azure function project)

Thank you very much. That answer worked for me. I deleted the folder and reran my Function. That's all! – Ferrol

@Ferrol could you please set this as Accepted answer – Helpmeet

This is not my question, I'm sorry. I could only vote positively – Ferrol

Answer 2

I faced the issue recently and tried to download again the tools but it wasn't working even after the download. So I found out that the installation path was

...\Releases\3.23.5\cli\...

and I copied the same cli folder and renamed it to cli_x64

...\Releases\3.23.5\cli_x64\...

and it worked fine

Where do you find the installation path? – Gabar

You may check in you ...AppData\Local\AzureFunctionsTools\Releases\3.23.5 @Gabar – Wise

Is there anywhere I could download the 64bit files that are required for it? – Gabar

Answer 3

I copied all folders from 3.28.1 into 3.23.5 and it worked for me since 3.28.1 had cli_x64
