Random errors when building solution

Question

When building my solution, I randomly receive one of these errors:

C:\working_directory.nuget\NuGet.targets(91, 5): Type handle 'NuGet.ProjectModel.LockFile' and method handle with declaring type 'NuGet.ProjectModel.HashCodeCombiner' are incompatible. Get RuntimeMethodHandle and declaring RuntimeTypeHandle off the same MethodBase.

This used to happen only on one machine, now another machine is seeing the same problem.

This issue is not persistent , I can successfully build my solution after rebuilding for a few times. I've also tried "Clean Solution" but it does not fix the issue.

I'm not sure what's wrong since the errors are random and not persistent :(

Can someone shed some light? I am using VS2015, another machine using VS2013 also experience the same issue now.

I have just run into this. In my case, it was a disk space issue. Check the free space on your C:\ ???
