"Restore NuGet Packages" in Visual Studios 2015 not doing anything

Question

I pulled my solution from SVN into Visual Studios 2015. I'm getting errors on some of my "using" references within the code, so I am trying to run the "Restore NuGet Packages" option when right clicking the solution in the "Solution Explorer". This does nothing. I have to manually go into nuget manager and uninstall then reinstall the items. Why is this? How can I get "Restore NuGet Packages" to work?

Answer 1

You might did not enabled automatic package restore from the following section:

Tools >> Options >> Nuget Package Manager >> General settings.

Also you can try this:

Update-Package -Reinstall

This code will forces re-installation in all solution's projects.

Look at the following for more info:

Hope this will help :)
