Intermittently but Frequently the NuGet Package Manager completely stops working in Visual Studio 2012.
If I try and install a package I get this error:
```
PM> install-package <package name>
Install-Package : Project unavailable.
At line:1 char:16
+ install-package <<<< <package name>
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Install-Package], COMException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException,NuGet.PowerShell.Commands.InstallPackageCommand
```
The drop down for the Default Project is blank.
The Package Manager GUI also breaks.
The problem is intermittent but happens frequently and the only solution is completely close Visual Studio and reopen it.
