Unable to find nuget local source error occurred while restoring nuget packages the local source doesn't exist

Question

I\'ve been given a visual studio 2017 solution. When I open it fails as with the error:

Error occurred while restoring NuGet packages: The local source \'\\\\netw

Answer 1

In my case i have getting this error: Error occurred while restoring NuGet packages: The local source 'C:\Microsoft\Xamarin\NuGet' doesn't exist.

I have accidentally deleted 'C:\Microsoft\Xamarin\' folder. After this VS2019 was not able to restore packages. I just manually created 'C:\Microsoft\Xamarin\NuGet' folder. Restarted VS, cleaned solution and everything goes well after this.
