Can't Find NuGet with VS 2010 Shell Extension Manager
Following these instructions as best I can, the VS 2010 Shell Extension Manager turns up no results when searching for "nuget". The only deviation as far as I can tell is that the instructions show using VS 2010 Ultimate, and I am using the Shell. I had no problem with AnkhSvn and I can see all kinds of other extensions in the Online Gallery. One other thing, before attempting this I installed the NuGetPackageExplorer (not even really sure what it is, just trying to get off the ground with NuGet and I found it on their CodePlex download site -- ultimately I'd like to publish my own NuGet package, since someone suggested it to me and I've heard about it a couple other times). Any Ideas?
Update
I recently got a new computer (Windows 7 64 bit) and freshly installed Visual Studio 2010 Shell and F# 2.0 and am having the same exact issue. Note: I just checked the About page and it says the only installed component is Visual Web Developer 2010 (seemed odd to me).
Answer
It seems like the Visual Studio 2010 "Shell" [1] is not one of the supported applications. Do you have a full version of Visual Studio 2010 Professional, Premium, or Ultimate?
From the NuGet FAQ page [2]:
What is required to run NuGet?
NuGet requires Visual Studio 2010 or Visual Web Developer Express 2010. The NuGet Package Manager Console requires that PowerShell 2.0 be installed. Powershell 2.0 is already installed if you have the following operating system:
- Windows 7
- Windows Server 2008 R2
If you have the following operating systems, you must manually install Powershell 2.0.
- Windows XP SP3
- Windows Server 2003 SP2
- Windows Vista SP1
- Windows Server 2008
[1] Is this the VS 2010 Shell you have? http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=8e5aa7b6-8436-43f0-b778-00c3bca733d3
