Visual Studio 2015无法进行Package Restore的原因和解决方案

这篇文章是记录在我的当前电脑上面，安装Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition出现的无法进行Package Restore的问题，很可能在你的电脑上面无法重现。我的环境是

1.Windows 7  x64

2.已经安装了Visual Studio 2013

3.已经手工地安装过dnvm 和dnx

 

问题现象：

为了更好地了解和学习一下最新的ASP.NET 5 , MVC 6等一些特性，在当前电脑上面安装了Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition。安装之前，确认过它是可以与当前的Visual Studio 2013并行（Side by side）运行的。

按照默认的设置安装完成后，启动Visual Studio 2015，创建了一个最简单的应用程序，但是无法编译通过，查看输出窗口，得到如下的错误消息

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

 

看这个错误提示，是因为找不到对应的dnx（运行时）中的Package Manager这个组件。果然如此吗？当前我的电脑上面，已经安装了好几个runtime（注意，这是我自己手工安装的，前期做其他的实验。Visual Studio 2015在安装的过程中也会自己安装dnvm和对应的dnx）

Visual Studio 2015默认会调用最新版本的runtime（目前是1.0.0-beta 7），并且尝试用它进行Package Restore。我找到对应的目录中去看，确实没有Microsoft.DNX.PackageManager这个文件夹。

但是奇怪的是，稍早的版本（例如1.0.0-beta 5）确是存在这个目录和对应的DLL

 

解决方案

目前尚不清楚为什么beta7反而有这个问题，但要解决这个问题，暂时先用beta 5我觉得也是可以接受的

 

为了简便起见，我们也可以将其他的runtime先删除掉，只留下beta5。这样就不需要每个项目都去设置了。

当然，相信以后1.0.0正式发布之后，这些问题是可以解决掉的
