Facing NuGet issue "'5.0.0+42a8779499c1d1ed2488c2e6b9e2ee6ff6107766' is not a valid version string." while installing packages

Question

I have created a console application for testing web applications in C#. All the packages are managed by NuGet package manager. When I try to install/uninstall packages via NuGet, I'm facing an exception.

Tools/Configurations

1. Visual studio - Community 2013
2. .NET Framework - 4.5.2 Selenium
3. webdriver - 3.141.0
4. MSBuild.NUnit version="1.0.2"
5. NUnit version="3.12.0"
6. NUnit3TestAdapter version="3.15.1" NU
7. NUnitTestAdapter version="2.2.0"

Installed NuGet

Answer 1

Somehow I managed to get the install/uninstall package working via Package manager console.

I had tried these steps earlier, but not sure why it didn't worked then.

1. Un-installed nuget : Tools > Extensions & updates > Installed > Nuget
2. Re-installed nuget : Tools > Extensions & updates > Online[Visual Studio Gallery] > Nuget > Install
3. Changed package manager settings : Tools > Nuget Package Manager > Package manager settings > Nuget Package manager > Package sources > Checked only "nuget.org", rest everthing was unchecked > Click "Ok".
4. Restart the VS 2013(restart your system, if you want.)

Edit 1 : Able to see via UI as well.
