Hi,

I have a website project which I would like to Octopack. When installing Octopack from package manager console, I get the following error:

PM> Install-Package OctoPack

Hi,

Can you tell me what kind of project is “MaximWS”? Is it a C++ project, a C# project, a VB project? Is it an ASP.NET project or a console application? Which version of Visual Studio are you using?

Hi Paul,

MaximWS is a VB.NET Website project. I am using Visual Studio 2010 Professional. The project is using .NET 2 version.

Please let me know if you need any further information.

Hi Deeksha,

I don’t think OctoPack is going to work with VS2010/.NET 2.0 projects; we’ll have to make some changes to support this. For now you might need to look at using NuGet.exe pack directly.
