Problems with Nuget package manager

Hey guys,

Hope someone can help. I am using Version 5.0.0 Build 4696 on Windows 8,1.

First, there is a bug I think (or at least an unfriendly error message) with the nuget package manager.

If you open the package manager by right clicking on the solution and not on the project, any package you try to add results in an error message at the bottom of the window, saying "object reference not set to an instance of an object". Try it with a new, clean project.

Now this is easily avoidable.

But, my bigger problem is that when I add a package by right clicking on the project and going to package manager, the only thing added is an entry in the project References - there is no other source file or binary files added.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance
