What have I done to my Solution!? D:
I'm not able to install anything from nuget anymore. At first I kept getting an error saying:
An error occurred while trying to restore packages. A root element is missing.
So pursuant to this answer on another question, I renamed all my packages folders to packages-old, started VS again and attempted a restore. The error persists and I still can't install any nuget packages.
Error List:
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error This project references NuGet package(s) that are missing on this computer. Use NuGet Package Restore to download them. For more information, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=322105. The missing file is ..\packages\Microsoft.Net.Compilers.1.3.2\build\Microsoft.Net.Compilers.props.
Package Manager Restore:
All packages are already installed and there is nothing to restore.
