I've scrounged the web with little success, but after fiddling the following will help:

OK It seems that the package sources configured for NuGet.config is stored per user account, e.g.

c:\Users\<>\AppData\Roaming\NuGet\NuGet.config

My issue was harder to resolve, because the build agent was running as a Windows Service under the Local System account. So to get NuGet configuration to for the build, I had to use the following path instead:

• 64-bit Windows C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\NuGet\NuGet.Config
• 32-bit Windows C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\NuGet\NuGet.Config

You may need to have elevated permissions in order to create the NuGet subfolder and NuGet.Config file.

Note: I have no solution for using the Local Service account. The above only works for the Local System (or an actual user) account.
