The recommended approach to install Sitecore Azure Diagnostics extension is as follows:

In Visual Studio, create an empty project using the ASP.NET Web Application (.NET Framework) template.
Copy the generated files on top of Sitecore 8.1 installation.
For example:
- \sc81u3\Sitecore.sln
- \sc81u3\Website\Properties
- \sc81u3\Website\packages.config
- \sc81u3\Website\Sitecore.csproj
- \sc81u3\Website\Sitecore.csproj.user
- \sc81u3\Website\Web.Debug.config
- \sc81u3\Website\Web.Release.config
Include all Sitecore's files in the project.
Install the NuGet package Sitecore.Azure.Diagnostics:
```
Install-Package Sitecore.Azure.Diagnostics
```
Note: The Sitecore.Azure.Diagnostics package depends on the Windows Azure Storage package, which will be installed automatically.
Modify both files the Web.Debug.config and Web.Release.config. Under the element \configuration\appSettings, replace the {account-name} with the name of your storage account, and the {account-key} with your account access key:
```
<configuration>
...
  <appSettings>
  ...
    <add key="StorageConnectionString" value="DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName={account-name};AccountKey={account-key}" />
  </appSettings>
...
</configuration>
```
Now Sitecore instance is ready to log diagnostics to an Azure Blob Storage.
