Failure of Castle Winsor 3.0 NuGet installation - asp.net-mvc

I'm trying to install Castle Windsor 3.0 using NuGet, and it fails with the following message:
PM> Install-Package Castle.Windsor
'Castle.Core (≥ 3.0.0)' not installed. Attempting to retrieve dependency from source...
Done.
Install-Package : Id is required.
Version is required.

+ Install-Package <<<< Castle.Windsor
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Install-Package], ValidationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NuGetCmdletUnhandledException,NuGet.Cmdlets.InstallPackageCmdlet
I've tried it both using the command-line (above) and using the Library Package Manager.
My environment is a default MVC3.0 installation, using the web site template, in Visual Studio 2010, with absolutely nothing changed from the defaults.
The error looks like there is something wrong with the package being downloaded from NuGet.
Can anyone shed any light on this? I can work around it with a manual install of Castle Windsor, but would like to use NuGet if possible.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Update NuGet to the latest version. I recently upgraded from 1.3 to 1.6, but had to completely reinstall (as administrator) to get my project working. I think it was for a FluentValidation.MVC3 project I was whipping up.

I had the same problem even having the latest version of NuGet. I had to settle for:
Install-Package Castle.Core -Version 2.5.2

lib.web.mvc installation issue with VS 2017

I am getting the following error while installing the lib.web.mvc.6.8.2 package with VS 2017. It seems there is an issue with the dependency Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc already installed:

I checked the github of this project, and it looks like it is targeting .NET 4.6:
<TargetFrameworkVersion>v4.6</TargetFrameworkVersion>
Lib.Web.Mvc.csproj
But your app is targeting 4.5.2.
So you have few options. One of them is to clone/fork this project and compile targeting 4.5.2. Or simply change your app to 4.6 (if possible?).
Since v6.8.0 release Lib.Web.Mvc requires .NET 4.6+ as it requires HTTP/2 support.
There is a v6.7.x branch which is fix-only branch supporting .NET 4.0+.
If you want to stick to .NET 4.5.2 you will have to use latest 6.7.x version:
PM> Install-Package Lib.Web.Mvc -Version 6.7.1
Alternative is to upgrade your project to .NET 4.6+.

Asp .Net Core - cannot install Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc nuget package

In my Asp .Net Core Web Application (started with empty template) I cannot install Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc nuget package.
After pressing Install in Nuget manager I get this error message:
Package restore failed. Rolling back package changes for 'WebApplication1'.
I tried to solve it on my own, but:
1) My project doesn't have project.json
2) Clearing nuget cache like in this answer didn't help:
Netstandard1.x Nuget packages cannot be installed for netstandard1.x projects
Project target framework: .NetCoreApp1.0 (also tried 1.1)
Ide: VS2017 RC
I didn't have problems so far with installing other packages.
Is there a workaround to install mvc package?
Btw. I have to start with empty project template.
Thanks in advance for your support.
I looked harder in nuget package name and discovered that correct package to install should be Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc and not Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.
Silly mistake, I chose most popular package by typing "mvc" in search box.

'Serilog' already has a dependency defined for 'Microsoft.CSharp'

I am trying to install serilog and I'm getting error
PM> Install-Package Serilog

Microsoft.CSharp is already referenced in my project
As #Tieson T. said, Update "Nuget Package Manager for Visual Studio" from Visual Studio Window > Tools > Extensions and Updates > Click Updates tab. Select Nuget plugin and update. Then restart the visual studio after installation complete. I tried (Windows 8.1 64bit & Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate) and it works.
To add to this. I had a similar issue but the problem was due to our build server being based on TFS 2012 and using an old version of MSBuild (which we can't update in the near term). Everything built and ran fine locally, but when the build server tried to run we got the same error.
The workaround I found was to go into the packages folder of the solution, find the package having the issue (in my case Serilog.2.3.0 and the associated Sink packages I had installed). Open the "lib" folder and you should see some folders associated to the various .Net frameworks. Delete the netstandard folders which correspond to the .Net Core versions.
The downside to this is you have to check in the folders you modify like this so MSBuild doesn't try to restore them.
Please do the 2 steps below, it works for me or teamcity/jenkins
If you still using the Nuget CommandLine 2.8, please try to upgrade to 3.5.
If you using the private Nuget Server, Please update the Serilog.2.3.0.nupkg with the steps below:
2.1 Update Nuget Spec File:
Remove
...
...
2.2 Remove the folder lib/netstandard1.0 and lib/netstandard1.0
2.3 Then redeploy the Serilog.2.3.0.nupkg to your private Nuget Server

Not able to install Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Cors from NuGet

I just upgrade my project from Visual Studio from 2010 to 2013 to support Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) in my WebApi.
Now when I am installing Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Cors package from NuGet then I am getting following error.
I am using Visual Studio 2013, Asp.Net MVC 5
PM> Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Cors
Attempting to resolve dependency 'Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Core (≥ 5.2.3 && < 5.3.0)'.

I had exact the same problem with another NuGet library.
Please try this steps:
1. Updates
Proof if your installed NuGet version is on the newest version
2. Clear cache
Use the NuGet command prompt and clear the cache:
You can list the local caches with this command:
nuget locals all -list
You can clear all caches with this command:
nuget locals all -clear
3. Check cache
The NuGet Cache is simply a folder on your computer, you can proof delete the remaining files manually under %LOCALAPPDATA%\NuGet\Cache.
Or just run this in administrator CMD:
del %LOCALAPPDATA%\NuGet\Cache\*.nupkg /q
The message says the package is already installed.
try uninstall before to re-install:
Uninstall-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Cors
If that can help someone else, I tried to follow the steps from Steffen Mangold but that's wasn't working completely.
If you have an assembly error like:
System.Web.Http, Version=5.0.0.0
after doing this command Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Cors
Try that :
1 - Run this in administrator CMD
del %LOCALAPPDATA%\NuGet\Cache\*.nupkg /q
2 - Run this in the Package manager console
Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi
That will install missing assemblies and fix the error.
Check the package source.
Go to tools, click on Nuget Package Manager and click on Package Manager settings.
Then go to Package Sources subsection under the Nuget Package Manager section.
In my case the source was initially pointing to a folder on my local machine.
So just add another package source with the following details.
Name : nuget.org
Source : https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json

Error installing Simple.Odata via nuget on a PCL

I have a PCL targeting .Net 4.5, Silverlight 4+, Windows Phone 7.5+, .Net for windows store apps, Mono Android and MonoTouch
I am attempting to install Simple.OData via nuget and getting the error below. I have tried many different combinations, but nothing seems to be able to pull down the library. My main goal is to develop for Android and Touch using MVVMCross and Odata services.
PM> Install-Package Simple.OData.Client

Looking at https://www.nuget.org/packages/Simple.OData.Client it says the package only supports Windows Phone 8 and higher - so I guess your problem is Windows Phone 7.5 is not supported.
Just to want to let you know that there is a new version (0.17) of Simple.OData.Client with changes that affect MonoTouch/MonoDroid.
However, as Stuart and Daniel pointed out, you must select compatible PCL profile. Make sure that your selected profile doesn't select earlier versions of Silverlight and Windows Phone.
Let me know if you need more help with this.
