I am able to reproduce a different error when trying to install coverlet.collector into WPF Application (.NET Framework) but in my case the browse tab was usable. I don't see Error occurred in the browse tab. I tried on Version 17.5.0 Preview 3.0 which has NuGet 6.5.0.136 bits.

I then installed Newtonsoft.json package first and then tried to install coverlet.collector which succeeded surprisingly.

Team Triage: Reach out to the owners of coverlet.collector and let them know that installing their package is breaking design-time builds which affects Visual Studio functionality.

Thanks for Kartheek's update. Same result with kartheekp-ms on VS Main\34912.06 + NuGet Client Dev\6.11.0.49.
