Trouble fixing VS 2010 ASP.Net project

44 Views Asked by At

I downloaded a demo project that required ASP MVC4, and I used the Web Platform Installer to add MVC4 to Visual Studio 2010. All seemed well.

Then I used Nuget to upgrade the dependencies, along the way seeing that Nuget itself had a newer version which I installed.

And now I have the sequence of problems below:

  1. When loading the project, VS presents what appears to be a helpful dialog below

    The Web project requires missing web components to run with Visual Studio. ASP.NET Web pages with Razor syntax

  2. The Web Platform Installer looks similarly poised to do something useful.

    Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Tools for ASP.NET Web Pages

  3. Uh-oh, the install craps out saying NuGet is somehow to blame and presenting a link that leaves me at an ASP Home Page of sorts but doesn't address the problem in any obvious way.

    You have a newer version of NuGet installed that's incompatible with ASP.NET MVC 3 Tools Update

The Question!

How can I get my installation cleaned up and working properly?
