Error connecting to a valid SQL Azure server

description

I am finding that the database collection contains no elements after logging into the "Target" SQL Azure step. The Migration Tool worked fine for me a few days ago and I verified my SQL Azure account is working fine as well at the master and other databases are working, online and I can connect to them.
 
It is failing on this second line with an index out of bound exception and no Database object is fetched.
 
                Server svr = CommonFunc.GetSmoServer(dbServer.ConnectionContext);
                Database db = (Database)svr.Databases[database];
 
ScriptWizard.cs - line 1171 - v3.7.7
 
It looks like an lightly documented release of SQL Azure that is the breaking change: http://bobthegoblin.wordpress.com/2011/09/11/sql-azure-migration-wizard-v3-7-7-red-gate-sql-compare-9-no-longer-work/

I just started getting this error as well starting yesterday. It is failing on connection to the SQL Azure database server. Version 3.7.7 and tried with 3.7.4

I believe this is related to recent changes to support bacpac import/export. It's a new CTP feature they pushed on the 9th. The Wizard worked for me after having installed the components to support bacpac listed at:

Update: I think you may just need to apply the SP1 update and then the Cummulative Update Package 7:

Yes, a whole bunch of us ran into this little problem. Basically, you need to download and install SP1 and you should be good to go.
