System.UriFormatException (Invalid URI: Invalid port specified) adding a nuget package

glennanthonyb

I'm using Linqpad premium. I have it installed on my home machine and a work machine.

My home machine, adding a nuget package works fine.

On my work machine, when I try to add a nuget package, I get the following


System.UriFormationException

Invalid URI: Invalid port specified.


Using my third machine licence, I tried it on my work laptop - same problem.

Not sure if it's AV/firewall (it's McAfee BTW), but I'm not able to turn it off.

Any hints would be appreciated.

Thanks

There is another dialog titled 'Unhandled thread exception' that appears after the initial error - here's the content...

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

at LINQPad.UI.NugetManagerForm.Dispose(Boolean disposing)
at System.ComponentModel.Component.Finalize()

That error is from invalid proxy settings. Go to Edit | Preferences | Web proxy and make sure that you've specified a valid URI for the web proxy address.

So obvious, and yet I missed it [bangs head on desk].

Many thanks Joe.
