In one of the projects I needed to reinstall the jQuery NuGet package (a MVC solution).

There were also a "Microsoft.jQuery.Unobtrusive.Validation", that I should uninstall before removing the jQuery package.

Now I try to (re)install the jQuery package, and all dependent packages I removed before. The "Microsoft.jQuery.Unobtrusive.Validation" package breaks saying:

Attempting to resolve dependency 'jQuery (≥ 1.8)'.
Attempting to resolve dependency 'jQuery.Validation (≥ 1.8)'.
Attempting to resolve dependency 'jQuery (≥ 1.3.2 && ≤ 1.6)'.
Updating 'jQuery 1.8.0' to 'jQuery 1.4.1' failed.
Unable to find a version of 'Microsoft.jQuery.Unobtrusive.Validation' that is compatible with 'jQuery 1.4.1'.

was is das? I need to use the latest jQuery (2.0.xx)!

I should remark that the similar "Microsoft.jQuery.Unobtrusive.Ajax" package does not have this 'bug'. It was installed without problems.

PS. Now I tried to install the (non-Microsoft)jQuery.Validation...

this is the error log:

Attempting to resolve dependency 'Microsoft.jQuery.Unobtrusive.Validation (≥ 2.0.20613.0)'.
Attempting to resolve dependency 'jQuery.Validation (≥ 1.8 && < 2.0)'.

I just ran into this same issue now.

Using NuGet I added "jQuery", then "jQuery Validatation" Tried "Microsoft jQuery Unobtrusive Validation" again, this time it installed nicely :)
