Opening project in Visual Studio fails due to nuget.targets not found error

Question

So I downloaded Twitterizer from http://www.twitterizer.net/downloads/

I try to open it in Visual Studio and get all these nuget errors:

The imported project "C:\Twitterizer\.nuget\nuget.targets" was not found.  Confirm that the path in the <Import> declaration is correct, and that the file  exists on disk. 

What is going on. How do I deal with this?

Answer 1

1. Install Nuget.
2. Right click on the solution and select "Enable NuGet Package Restore". In Visual Studio 2013 and later, select "Restore NuGet Packages" instead.
3. Click Ok on the warning.
4. Close and re-open the solution.

Should now be hunky-dory.

Answer 2

An alternative is to edit the .csproj file with a texteditor and remove or comment out the segment.
