NuGet package restore - “Package restore is disabled by default. To give consent, open the Visual Studio Options dialog”

Question

Answer 1

This is currently happening because NuGet Package Restore needs consent before downloading packages and with the current way things work, there's no way to discern a user calling "nuget.exe install packages.config" from package restore. more details on consent here : http://blog.nuget.org/20120518/package-restore-and-consent.html

note: this issue should be fixed next week.

As a workaround, you can give consent by setting the EnableNuGetPackageRestore environment variable to true.
