Unable to install nuget, tried to add a framework reference to System.Globalization error

[dannylgreen]

Hello,

I am getting the following error when trying to install the nuget package for version 4.0: HtmlSanitizer' tried to add a framework reference to 'System.Globalization' which was not found in the GAC. This is possibly a bug in the package. Please contact the package owners for assistance.

For now I have download the 3.4 version and that seems to have worked.

Thanks!

I don't see this error when installing the package - what project type are you using?

[mganss]

I can't repro, either. Neither net45, net40, nor netcoreapp2.0. Which framework are you targeting?

[dannylgreen]

Hello,

I am targeting the net45 framework, and it is an Asp.Net MVC type of project. I tried installing AngelSharp first (which installed fine), but that didn't help. I just now tried to install it on a class library project (that is part of the same solution), but with the same result.

Here is the output from Package Manager (this was the class library project) if that helps:

I have a feeling this might be related to NuGet/Home#2193. Which version of Visual Studio and NuGet are you using?

[dannylgreen]

I am using Visual Studio 2015 with Nuget Pacage manager 3.5. When I look at tools/extensions and updates, there doesn't appear to be an update for Nuget, is that the latest version?

[mganss]

Now I can repro. There is NuGet 3.6 for VS 2015 but that didn't help, either.

So I simply removed the references to System.IO, System.Globalization, and System.Runtime for net45. Builds 🆗 There doesn't seem to be an equivalent in csproj to the workaround mentioned in NuGet/Home#2193 ({ "type": "build" }) so I figured removing the references is the way to go 🤷‍♂️

[dannylgreen]

That has done the trick! Thank you.
