Michael James - Developer

Yesterday my build server started failing on a particular project and after a quick look at the log I found that it simply wasn't building the solution. Peculiar as I knew it built fine on several development machines, however I dug into the logs and found the following:  error MSB4019: The imported project "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\Portable\v4.0\Microsoft.Portable.CSharp.targets" was not found. Confirm that the path in the <Import> declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk. Oh dear, now I know Portable Class Libraries is an add on so I went to MSDN Visual Studio Gallery and got the installer so that I could chuck it on to the build server. However when attempting to install I got a great message saying I needed VS2010 and SP1 installed, obviously for a build server this wasn't going to happen....

Today I had the unfortunate circumstance for VS2010 to crash whilst I was working, nothing to big I thought, I've had this happen before. I reopened VS went to open my solution and got the following message: --------------------------- Microsoft Visual Studio --------------------------- The 'NuGet.Tools.NuGetPackage, NuGet.Tools, Version=1.6.21215.9133, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' package did not load correctly. EEK! Nuget is smegged :( I immediately thought to uninstall the extension and then reinstall it, same thing happened :( I then, (looking back this was foolish as NuGet is shared), thought I know I just load it in VS11 that will work, it also errored. Not cool, the error message however directs you to start VS with logging enabled by using the /log command argument and then to look at the activity log.  The activity log is located in your appdata roaming folder, simply stick %appdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\ActivityLog.xml in...
