NuGet error on creating MVC4 Project in VS 2012

Question

I tried to create a MVC4 empty project in VisualStudio 2012 Ultimate, but I got this error:

"Error: this template attempted to load component assembly 'NuGet.VisualStudio.Interop, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'.".

Answer 1

I believe you do not have NuGet Package Manager extension installed.

If not, you can click TOOLS -> Extensions and Updates... -> Online, select NuGet Package Manager, and click Download:

After it downloads, you will be prompted for administrative elevation, and then to restart Visual Studio.

Tested in: Visual Studio Ultimate 2012 (Version 11.0.60610.01 Update 3)

UPDATE: I've just came across this problem in Visual Studio 2012. So despite some comments here, it is not necessarily installed by default.

Answer 2

i) Open Visual Studio > Tools > Extensions and Updates > select 'NuGet Package Manager' and uninstall it.(if it's not installed go to step 2)

ii) Open this url 'http://nuget.org' and you will see an 'Install NuGet' link , download it(NuGet.Tools.vsix) and install it on your Visual Studio .

iii) Close and Re-open the Visual Studio and i believe you will never see that error Dialog again just like me ;-)
