When I added it to the machine.config in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework(&Framework64)\v4.0.30319\Config Visual Studio doesn't open. <br /><br />I appreciate your post and would be grateful if you could elaborate on the implementation of DEVPATH.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13614541843644746337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2889416825250254881.post-19249107166920258972012-04-10T00:49:22.831+01:002012-04-10T00:49:22.831+01:00I just tried all steps out and realised that "...I just tried all steps out and realised that "Enable NuGet Package Restore" is not required.

I did not try the steps individually and I might have been unlucky to find the solution last hence had done a few unnecessary steps. <br /><br />I will try it out and update the post if I find any unnecessary steps. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by.aliostadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05695786967974402749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2889416825250254881.post-17682701426710816702012-04-09T20:27:43.757+01:002012-04-09T20:27:43.757+01:00I had a number of issues too, but I took a differe...I had a number of issues too, but I took a different path. I had major issues when using Enable Package Restore. I think you actually DON'T want to do that but rather do the BUILD RESTOREPACKAGES which should go out and get the NUGET pacakages. The source includes an alternate feed for some of the system components like System.net that are not on the regular NuGet feed.<br /><br />To run I create a new project in a new solution and hooked up to the Debug assemblies from the Web project. All of the required DLLs for MVC, Razor, Web Pages, System.net, Json.net etc. I used from there and that does work as long as you copy local - it'll override GAC'd instances.<br /><br />All that said it took me two tries to get the source installed and compiling. First time I thought I knew better and experimented with what I thought should work. Second time I followed the instructions from CodePlex EXACTLY and sure enough it worked.Rick Strahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15191427292081443626noreply@blogger.com
