I have nuget package restore enabled in my solution. However, when I try to build the project, I get this error:

This project references NuGet package(s) that are missing on this computer. Enable NuGet Package Restore to download them.

Any ideas how to fix this problem?

I have tried deleting my NuGet.targets and NuGet.exe file and re-enabling nugget package restore. It recreates the files and I get the same error.

Try and see if this helps:

in solution explorer, right click on the project name and select 'Enable Nudget package restore'

also remember to rebuild each of your projects

wait until it gets restored and run the project if it works fine
