9. In the Add Library Reference Package, select Online on the left and then 
ELMAH.
10. Select the ELMAH.Xml package and click Install.
11. Press F5.
12. When the browser finshes launching the home page, go to the address bar and 
type in the URL to the error log page, as http://www.example.com/elmah.axd.
13. Generate an error by navigating to http://www.example.com/elmah.axd/test.
14. Navigate back to the error log page using the browser's back button and 
verify that the the test error has been logged.
15. Go to the App_Data/Elmah.Errors directory and verify an XML file for the 
error was indeed generated.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected that the App_Data directory contents to be still there. Instead the 
App_Data directory is removed along with all other content that may have been 
there prior to adding the package!

I've raised this as an issue with the NuGet team 
(http://nuget.codeplex.com/workitem/810).

I've thought of a workaround, but will see what they say before changing what 
I've got!

This has been Accepted as a NuGet bug (http://nuget.codeplex.com/workitem/810).
It has been fixed and should be in the next NuGet release (I'm guessing that's 
1.3).
