Unable to install package Google.Apis.Auth.Mvc on Visual Studio 2010 express or upwards

google-api, google-api-dotnet-client, nuget, nuget-package

Solution

Looks like the BCL package is using a feature that is not supported by the outdated version of NuGet you seem to be using. You'll need to update the NuGet extension for Visual Studio.

- Within Visual Studio, go to Tools > Extensions and Updates...

- Select the Updates tab

- Look for NuGet Package Manager and click the Update button.

Problem

I am trying to install the NuGet package `Google.Apis.Auth.Mvc`. Upon doing so, I get the following error message: Install-Package : The schema version of 'Microsoft.Bcl' is incompatible with version 2.0.30625.9003 of NuGet. Please upgrade NuGet to the latest version from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=213942 I looked up this error message on Google and just one another guy reported such a problem in these two links (Visual Studio 2012 Package Manager Console error, http://servercoredump.com/question/21766168/visual-studio-2012-package-manager-console-error) and he had it fixed simply by uninstalling and re-installing NuGet. I am scared to do that since I worry that NuGet may not download extensions for all the IDE's I have. I have from Visual Studio Express 2008 to 2013. Have any of you encountered this message and do you know how to work around it?
