NuGet package problems while building DirectX Graphics Samples

I've encountered NuGet problems while building DirectX-Graphics-Samples

The error occurs with many projects, here is an example:

NuGet Package restore failed for project D3D12Multithreading: Unable to find version '1.0.161208001' of package 'WinPixEventRuntime'.   C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\NuGetPackages\: Package 'WinPixEventRuntime.1.0.161208001' is not found on source 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\NuGetPackages\'. .

Microsoft's suggestions for restoring packages enter image description here

did not help either:

I am using VS Enterprise 2019(16.5.1), .NET 4.8.03752, SDK 10.0.19041.0.

I have NuGet package manager in my VS configuration but not NuGet targets and build tasks.

Here is my .vsconfig

What components should be in my VS installation for NuGet to work properly?

Solution

  • All I had to do was to add https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json as the source of nuget.org in Visual Studio Tools->Options->NuGet Package manager
