Error downloading a package

matteomigliore

Hi,

If I add the package EyeSoft.Core (version 1.4.0.0460) from Nuget I obtain the error "There are no usable .NET assemblies in package 'EyeSoft.Core'."

If I do it from Visual Studio it works.

Which is the problem?

Thanks,
Matteo

I am facing the same when adding OxyPlot.Core. I thought it was because I was using the beta, and first time on a Windows Vista computer. But since somebody else is facing the problem, I thought I'd mention it.

I think that is a bug of Nuget, it doesn't download the lib folders of the package, the same for yours.

I write in the room Nuget of JabbR.

Yes - the problem downloading EyeSoft.Core could be a bug in Nuget.Core.dll. Either that, or it could be related to the unusual way in which the libraries are encoded in the package. Maybe it's just lucky that it works with VS.

The problem with OxyPlot.Core is totally different - expect a fix in a day or two.

Can you give me some details about the encoding of the package? What can I change (I created it)?

JoeAlbahari

Rename the .nupkg file back to a .zip file and take a look inside.

Packages normally have a subdirectory inside the .zip file called 'lib' inside of which are the DLLs.

The Eyesoft.Core package doesn't have a lib folder. Instead, the EyeSoft.Core.dll file is in the root, with the following name:

lib%5Cnet40%5CEyeSoft.Core.dll

VS is able to decode this into "lib\net45\EyeSoft.Core.dll", but NuGet.Core is unable to do the same.

Thank you a lot Joe, I saw the issue, I don't know from what depends, I used the Nuget Package Manager until today to publish the packages, it could be a bug of the tool.

It seems to be a bug of the latest version of the Nuget Package Explorer as you can see here.

The bug is solved from a new release on NPE. Thanks Joe.

Tormod - OxyPlot.Core should work in the newly uploaded beta.

Tormod

It does! Awesome! Thanks a bunch!
