supportedFrameworks System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException

Hello, I seem to have somehow broken LINQPad on my system. Whenever I try to add any Nuget package to a query, I get an System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException. The "view more details" just says "Specified argument was out of range. Parameter name: sourceFrameworks". This happens with any package I try to install, not just a specific one.



I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling LINQPad, clearing out any AppData folders I can find, installing the beta version, etc. but nothing works. Every time I try to install a package, even on a fresh installation of LINQPad, I get the same exception.

I'm sure I've accidentally goofed something up, but I'm not sure what or how I might fix it.

It's a corrupt PCL profile on your system:

The easiest solution is to install the latest LINQPad beta which detects and ignores corrupt PCL profiles:

Thanks for the link! I ended up renaming the .NETPortable folder at `C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETPortable`. I tried the LINQPad beta but that did not fix the problem for me, it persisted on v5.37.06 until I renamed that folder.

Yes, you're right - it didn't make the latest beta. I've just uploaded a new one that includes the fix.
