This project references NuGet package(s) that are missing on this computer.

Question

In my Visual studio 2015 update 3, I am experiencing bellow error when copied the solution folder to another windows machine.

Error This project references NuGet package(s) that are missing on this computer. Use NuGet Package Restore to download them. For more information, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=322105. The missing file is ..\packages\Microsoft.Net.Compilers.1.0.0\build**Microsoft.Net.Compilers.props.**

I verified the NuGet Package Manager for the project, everything that marked as "missing" has a green tick next to it, including Microsoft.Net.Compilers.
