Microsoft.VisualSutdio.Web.CodeGenerators.Mvc NuGet package install fails

165 Views Asked by At

In Visual Studio 2019 I am trying to install some NuGet packages in order to fix the automatic scaffolding (creating controller with views in ASP.NET MVC 5).

If I try:

Install-Package Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGenerators.Mvc -v 3.1.5

Then 2 'yellow' errors occur:

Install failed. Rolling back...
Package 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGenerators.Mvc.3.1.5 : Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration [3.1.5, )' does not exist in project 'SampleProject'
Package 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGenerators.Mvc.3.1.5 : Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration [3.1.5, )' does not exist in folder 'C:\Users\x\SampleProject\packages'

The supposedly missing package is already installed.

And 1 'red' error:

Install-Package : Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\x\SampleProject\packages\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGenerators.Mvc.3.1.5\Templates/Identity_Versioned/Bootstrap3/Pages/Account/
Manage/Account.Manage.TwoFactorAuthentication.cs.cshtml'.
At line:1 char:1

Is there a way to avoid the hard dependency on the 'TwoFactorAuthentication.cs.cshtml' presented in the 'red' error? The project doesn't use 2FA.
