Unable to find nuget local source error occurred while restoring nuget packages the local source doesn't exist

Question

I\'ve been given a visual studio 2017 solution. When I open it fails as with the error:

Error occurred while restoring NuGet packages: The local source \'\\\\netw

Answer 1

I had this error in different situation. I checked contents of Nuget.config in my solution folder and under node it had an entry pointing to ./nuget. This folder didn't exist in the solution directory, so I just created an empty folder with this name and the solution compiled without any problems.
