Answer 1

Found the solution at last !,

First run the command,

dnvm upgrade

if this command fails, with errors like the process is being used, run it again. And it will work after a few tries, i think the lock is due to some retires VS is doing to install the DNU properly. After this command run,

dnvm upgrade -r CoreClr

this command should restore your Core packages. It worked for me on some projects.

But if even after this the project is showing the same error, then close Visual Studio, reopen it and you will notice that the references are not loading. And it will ask your to look at the error list, which is good as once you look at the 35 odd errors, one of them give you a command to run, Run this command,

dnu restore

These three commands should get your project building.

Answer 4

I got this error when I selected the Class Library (Package) project type from the Templates > Visual Studio C# > Web template structure (see image).

What I really wanted was the "Class Library" which has the description "A project for creating a C# class library (.dll)". When I created a new project under this type, I did not get this error.

You need to update powershell tools for vs.

Tools -> Extensions and Updates -> Updates -> Visual Studio Gallery -> PowerShell Tools for Visual Studio 2015

Answer 6

Run it from the NuGet console (in VS 2015: Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Console)
