nuget - VS2015 - The 'NuGetPackage' package did not load correctly

Question

Just opened up VS 2015 Enterprise RTM, opened up an existing working project, getting the following error:

---

Microsoft Visual Studio

---

The 'NuGetPackage' package did not load correctly.

The problem may have been caused by a configuration change or by the installation of another extension. You can get more information by examining the file C:UsersREDACTEDAppDataRoamingMicrosoftVisualStudio14.0ActivityLog.xml.

Restarting Visual Studio could help resolve this issue.

Continue to show this error message?

[Yes] [No]

Restarting didn't help. I've examined the log file, and found the following sections relevant to nuget:

Which would suggest a duplicate extension, but this doesn't seem to be the case in the extensions manager.

This is on a machine that also has VS2013 installed. It has not had any of the preview/RC builds of VS2015 installed ever.

Answer 1

Completely removing NuGet via Extensions and Updates, restarting VS then re-installing NuGet via Extensions and Updates solved the issue for me. A full VS reinstall was not necessary.
