Mvvmcross nuget package not installing

I am trying to install the MvvmCross nuget package into a PCL but am having no luck. I am trying to sift through the noise but everything I try does not seem to work.

I have the PCL profiles setup as per: http://slodge.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/my-current-pcl-setup-in-visual-studio.html (and a number of existing stackoverflow pages)

I am trying to install:

MvvmCross.HotTuna.StartPack Version: 3.0.10

Using Package Manager Version 2.7.40808.167

But this is the error I get:

Package Manager Console Host Version 2.7.40808.167

Type 'get-help NuGet' to see all available NuGet commands.

Any suggestions??

you don't need to tweak the profiles anymore. Go to your profiles folder where you have put those xml files and delete the custom files.

You will see that you won't be able to create references to PCLs in droid or iOS projects using VS normal methods, but fear not. The new way to do it is by editing the csproj file in order to manually add the needed references.

You will be able to see the warning symbol into the references pseudo-folder in your vs project but it will work flawlessly.

Now try to install the nuget package. It should work. At least is working for me.

Please, watch this great video tutorial from @CheeseBaron if you want to know more: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q5kcW1rhB8

I have similar problem with MvvmCross Nuget package. Once I upgraded and installed the latest version of Nuget in VS studio. This problem resolved for me. You may give it a try.
