'jquery' is not a valid script name. The name must end in '.js'

Question

My ASP.Net project is working well, when suddenly we had a power failure. When I ran my web app, it is now showing a lot of

Could not load assembly Sanitizer..." then "Could not load "HtmlAgility...

errors. I was able to resolve these previous errors by uninstalling / reinstalling them using Manage Nuget Package Solutions inside Visual Studio 2012.

But now I encountered another error:

'jquery' is not a valid script name. The name must end in '.js'."

I tried to do same thing by re-installing the package but it does not work. What should I do to resolve this? I already have a jquery.js file located on my root\Scripts folder. I also added reference to this file inside my section:

<script src="Scripts/jquery.js"></script>

But still it won't work. Please help.

By the way guys, I was able to resolve this by installing the AspNet.ScriptManager.jQuery.UI.Combined and AspNet.ScriptManager.jQuery packages using the Nuget tool.

Here is working solution

Open Global.asax in your solution

Copy below code just modify your Jquery Version accordingly and paste it inside Application_Start event of Global.asax

        ScriptManager.ScriptResourceMapping.AddDefinition("jquery", new ScriptResourceDefinition
        {
            Path = "~/Scripts/jquery-1.10.2.min.js",
            DebugPath = "~/Scripts/jquery-1.10.2.js",
            CdnPath = "http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.10.2.min.js",
            CdnDebugPath = "http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.10.2.js",
            CdnSupportsSecureConnection = true,
            LoadSuccessExpression = "window.jQuery"
        });

    ScriptManager.ScriptResourceMapping.AddDefinition("jquery.ui.combined", new ScriptResourceDefinition
    {
        Path = "~/Scripts/jquery-ui-1.10.2.min.js", 
        DebugPath = "~/Scripts/jquery-ui-1.10.2.js", 
        CdnPath = "http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.ui/1.10.2/jquery-ui.min.js", 
        CdnDebugPath = "http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.ui/1.10.2/jquery-ui.js", 
        CdnSupportsSecureConnection = true
    });
         ScriptManager.ScriptResourceMapping.AddDefinition("bootstrap", new ScriptResourceDefinition
    {
        Path = "~/Scripts/bootstrap.min.js", 
        DebugPath = "~/Scripts/bootstrap.js", 
        CdnPath = "https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/js/bootstrap.min.js", 
        CdnDebugPath = "https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/js/bootstrap.js", 
        CdnSupportsSecureConnection = true
    });

In my case, I had to add the two dlls as reference to my project.
