Edited Issue: Hintpath is not set properly for packages installed via project template [2917]

Note: This repros only when a project is created programatically. Hence not a mainline scenario. Nevertheless, the hint path should be set properly irrespective of how the project gets created, since there could be bunch of scenarios where a project gets created through DTE. [ Even in our forums we see queries where user tries to add project as part of install.ps1 ..]


1. Create a MVC project template using DTE object model at C:\Temp folder.
Sample code to create project through DTE is attached.

2. In the resulting MVC project, packages that are part of project templates are installed properly in "packages" folder but the hint path is set according to the default project location [ which would be C:\Users\xxx\My Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\..\Packages\]. Hence the references are unresolved resulting in build error.

3. In this case though the project gets created @ C:\Temp folder, the hint path is set according to the default project location. [ which can be found @ Tools --> options--> ProjectsAndSolution -->Projects location]. This happens even if the "repostioryPath" is explictly set to "C:\Temp" folder in the nuget.config file.

4. For packages that are installed via package manager console post project creation, hint path is set properly.
