I'm doing an UIAutomation Project in C# using Selenium. The automation is to be done in Internet Explorer. So I tried downloading IEDriver.exe from NuGet Package Manager but faced following error:
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error Could not install package 'IEDriver 2.0.0'. You are trying to
install this package into a project that targets
'.NETFramework,Version=v4.6.1', but the package does not contain any
assembly references or content files that are compatible with that
framework. For more information, contact the package author. 0
I've few confusions over this warning.
the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework
What are those assembly references and content files which are compatible for my targer gramework version v4.6.1?
If you look inside the IEDriver 2.0 NuGet package it just contains a single file: IEDriverServer.exe.
You cannot install this NuGet package into a project. It does not have any lib directories so NuGet will not be able to add it to your project.

The sample NotepadAndCalculatorTest project built in VS Code using the terminal command dotnet build throws the following errors:
C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\5.0.401\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(820,5): error : The BaseOutputPath/OutputPath property is not set for project 'NotepadCalculatorTest.csproj'. Please check to make sure that you have specified a valid combination of Configuration and Platform for this project. Configuration='Debug' Platform='AnyCPU'. You may be seeing this message because you are trying to build a project without a solution file,
and have specified a non-default Configuration or Platform that doesn't exist for this project. [C:\Users\<username>\VSCode Projects\WinAppDriverTryout\Test\Samples\C#\NotepadAndCalculatorTest\NotepadCalculatorTest.csproj]
Or:
NotepadCalculatorTest.csproj(109,5): error : This project references NuGet package(s) that are missing on this computer. Use NuGet Package Restore to download them. For more information, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=322105. The missing file is packages\MSTest.TestAdapter.1.2.0\build\net45\MSTest.TestAdapter.props.
Could someone point me towards a possible way to get rid of the errors?
dotnet build carries out an implicit restore as part of the command.
This uses dotnet restore which does not support project references in packages.config & is exactly what this project is using.
dotnet restore only supports .csproj package references.
That's why, this project builds perfectly fine in Visual Studio but dotnet build throws errors.
You can migrate packages.config to package references by right-clicking on the file within Visual Stduio and clicking migrate, however that still won't fix your problem as dotnet cli works properly with .NET Framework only if the project was created using the dotnet new command.
I assume this project was created in Visual Studio since it has a Visual Studio solution file - .sln - and so commonly have a differently structured .csproj format.
This then usually breaks some CLI commands, even if you migrate the references in this case.
You have 2 workarounds.
1. Use nuget restore
The easiest option is to download the NuGet CLI executable from here, taken from the downloads page.
If you are not on Windows, use this guide by Microsoft.
Add it to your PATH or place it in the root folder of the project.
Run nuget restore, which is compatible with packages.config (run .\nuget restore if you're inside PowerShell to trust the command as PowerShell does not does not load commands from the current location by default for security).
Your should get output similar to this:
PS C:\Users\StackOverflow\NotepadAndCalculatorTest> .\nuget restore

Then run dotnet build.
It won't try to run dotnet restore as the packages have already been restored by NuGet already so you won't get any errors:

Build succeeded.

2. Port the project
The 2nd workaround is to create a new project using dotnet new & port the code over so that your .csproj file works with dotnet restore and subsequently, dotnet build.
I would recommend option 1 unless you don't want to restore via NuGet.
I am trying to run this
project from github. But when it comes to installing to MaterialDesignThemes.Wpf for wpftoolkit. it fails due to compatibility issue.Here is the full error:
"Error Could not install package 'MaterialDesignColors 1.1.1'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETFramework,Version=v4.0', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework.

I tried with changing the project target framework but it did not work.
Could any body please help in resolving this issue?
Thanks
I am completely new to xamarin studio. I am trying to add a nuget package. using the add packages dialogue appears to be working however I get an error:

I tried to use different PCL profiles to no effect. I'm not sure how to determine which profile should be used.
The package targets only "Xamarin.iOS". You can't reference it in a PCL that targets more than that, since any other platform wouldn't be able to use it.
Either don't use a PCL, or restrict the PCL to "Xamarin.iOS".
Since this seems to be a UI component, you should reference it from your main project instead, and maybe expose some functionality through services to the PCL, if needed.
I am using the NuGet Package Explorer to package an internal library which is then published to our private NuGet Feed. The package is very simple in that it only contains a single assembly and the pdb file for said assembly. The assembly was built in .NET 4.5 and I am trying to install the package into a project that also targets 4.5.
The error I am getting is:
You are trying to install this package into a project that targets
'.NETFramework,Version=v4.5', but the package does not contain any
assembly references or content files that are compatible with that
framework. For more information, contact the package author.
Package explorer looks like the below image:
For those of you not familiar with package explorer, the markup of the nuspec looks like this:
Can anyone point out what I am doing wrong here?
I have a PCL that targets the following platforms:
.NET Framework 4.5
Windows 8
Windows Phone 8.1
I need to add a reference to System.Runtime because I want to use another package that depends on it. From what I can see, version 4.0.0 appears to include the target platforms mentioned above. However, when I try installing it via NuGet, I get this stack trace:
PM> Install-Package System.Runtime -Version 4.0.0
# ...
Install failed. Rolling back...
Package 'System.Runtime 4.0.0' does not exist in project 'PclDummy'

Why does this happen if System.Runtime supports all of the platforms my PCL does?
that targets '.NETPortable,Version=v4.5,Profile=Profile111'
Be sure to distinguish between reference assemblies and runtime assemblies. To get your PCL project compiled, you only need reference assemblies. And you already have one for System.Runtime, it is located in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETPortable\v4.5\Profile\Profile111 directory on your machine. It is already referenced in your project so the package was correctly rejected.
These kind of crazy "but everybody already has this" Nuget packages come from the CoreCLR project. It is evolving rapidly right now with beta versions released at a very high rate. Which is one of the targets supported by Profile111, it supports an ASP.NET Core 5.0 target. Not one you listed in your question so you probably don't need it at all. But if you would then it would be that project that downloads this Nuget package. Which is entirely automatic, you don't ask for the packages explicitly.
Just stop trying to get it installed.
it seems that System.Runtime is not completely supported in version 4.5.
you can check it in the profile folder in following path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETPortable\v4.5\Profile\Profile111
there is a list of supported assemblies and namespaces.
