Error Installing Package Visual Studio

[stevenmcneese]

Trying to install via package manager and getting the following error:

Part URI is not valid per rules defined in the Open Packaging Conventions specification.

Never seen this issue before. Any ideas?

I have never heard of this problem either. Were you able to determine a specific set of steps to recreate this problem?

In an effort to recreate the problem, I created a new C# project based on the console template and added a reference to ZoomNet in Visual Studio's package manager using the following command: Install-Package ZoomNet -Version 0.87.0. The reference was added successfully as you can see below:

This leads me to believe that the package itself is probably not the culprit. There must be some other factor in your environment that leads to this error.

@stevenmcneese are you able to provide additional info and/or repro steps so we can continue investigating or should I close this issue?

[stevenmcneese]

You can close the issue. The problem was trying to use Visual Studio 2013.
