There is more than one method to install Task Factory for an Azure Data Factory. The easiest method is to rely on the dropdown for Task Factory, which Microsoft already has a version of Task Factory installed.



The other method is to manually install whatever version of Task Factory is desired by creating a Blob Storage with no folders and only contains the Task Factory installer exe or msi, and a file name main.cmd that will include a script that will run pre-planned steps. The code block below contains the template that will be included in the main.cmd file and both of these items are included you will copy this URL from Azure Storage to the IR of the Azure Data Factory to implement. As a side note, it is best to ensure you are using the correct license key and the correct naming convention of the installer in that Azure Storage to match up with the template below that will be included in the main.cmd.
