NuGet staying 'Retrieving Information' or 'No results found' in VS 2013

Question

All of a sudden, NuGet stopped working for all projects. I\'ve tried it on 4 different computers in the office, and all of them stopped working.

If I go to \'Manage

Answer 1

Try changing ".\myapp\packages\repositories.config" from Read Only to Read Write.

Answer 2

I have the same problem here.

In the mean time I used this trick: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/HowToAccessNuGetWhenNuGetorgIsDownOrYoureOnAPlane.aspx

(just grabbed the cache from the various computers at the office and set up a common folder - that way we have something for later, too)

Answer 3

I started the VS with /Log parameter and in file %APPDATA%\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\ActivityLog.xml there was a record that packages\repositories.config was read-only. So, I checked it out, and it worked.

Answer 4

Try "Run As Administrator" when launching Visual Studio.
