Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Visual Studio with NUPKG files
If, despite the installed application, the NUPKG file does not start in the Microsoft Visual Studio application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the NUPKG file with the Microsoft Visual Studio application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Visual Studio to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Visual Studio with NuGet Package there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NUPKG file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The NUPKG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to NUPKG files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our NUPKG file. However, remember that not every infected NUPKG file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the NUPKG files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular NUPKG file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact NuGet
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file NUPKG except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move NUPKG to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
