Can you try running it on a fresh project? I have seen this happening when nuget has already done some installing/uninstalling on a project, at times it leaves things on an inconsistent state.

I created a new project, installed MvcMailer using package Manager Console but still get the same errors. I then tried with a C# and that was fine so I can only conclude it's related to the project being based on VB rather than C#.

[NicoJuicy]

I have the same issue :(

[andrewknightley]

I have this problem in a fresh C# project.....

[andrewknightley]

In fact my error is this....

See possible fix here... https://github.com/smsohan/MvcMailer/issues/37

The possible fix didn't work for me. I'm getting lots of error messages when I install via the PackageManager Console.

The "out-of-date versions" for MvcScaffold and T4Scaffold as mentioned in the other article, were installed by MvcMailer. MvcMailer was the only NuGet package in my project. So if they are out of date then references to the latest versions need to be made in MvcMailer, don't they?

I've used this successfully on my older 32-bit machine, but I haven't used it in about a year. Any suggestions?

I'm on a brand new Dell laptop, Windows 7 Ultimate, VS 2010 SP1.

Here's my output:

[Leftyx]

Same exact problem here.

[germanf]

The same for me.. ):

[edwardt]

Update to the latest T4Scaffolding and that works. I need ot do Uninstall-Package to clean up all the old install include MvcMailer. Then install the latest T4Scaffolding beforehand then install MVCMailer again

[jamsoft]

Yup, I've just run into this as well. I'm not a NuGet fan either, it seems to have messed up the .NET versioning world ...

[BrilliantBrains]

same issue here.. Please help :(
