In a very complex solution there is an mvc3 web application. I have been using nuget to manage a few packages (jQuery and jQuery UI for example) for it. The other projects have no nuget packages installed. This has been working for a year, but about 1-2 months ago I can't modify these packages, as if I try anything on the package manager basically freezes (with visual studio).
I can't install packages.
I can't uninstall packages.
I can't update packages.
If I click "Manage" on any package on the "Manage Nuget Packages" dialog that freezes too (not displaying the dialog where I can select the projects where the package is installed).
When I create a new solution I can add/remove/modify the packages there.
Last time I cleared all the package references by the method described by jstewmon here: http://nuget.codeplex.com/workitem/2167
After that I manually removed all files, folders and web.config settings installed by the packages.
After that I could reinstall all my packages by nuget, so I assumed it fixed the problem.
But after 1-2 weeks have passed and I wanted to update the packages the problem is back.
I don't want to remove all the packages manually (hoping that I don't miss anything), and reinstall them again.
I have attached the activitylog.xml (which was generated when I ran VS by devenv /log).
If there is anything else I would need to attach or do to help nailing the problem i would gladly do it.
Comments: @soondead if you would like to try, can you please verify if this change fixes your problem. I am attaching a private drop with the fix here. You can either try it on a different machine or uninstall the current nuget.vsix and install this one. Once verified you can switch back to the release version. Thanks
