This project references NuGet package(s) that are missing on this computer

Question

I have an ASP.NET MVC5 application that worked yesterday and now I am getting this error when I try to build:

This project references NuGet package(s)

Answer 1

The first thing to try is to right-click the solution and select "Restore Nuget Packages".

In my case that did not work, so I followed some recommendations on deleting "Import" and "Target" on project file, this worked for 2 of my 3 projects, but got a different error on the last one.

What worked was to open the Package Manager Console and run:

Update-Package -reinstall -ProjectName MyProjectName

It takes some time but since it reinstall all packages your project will compile without problems
