So i was handed over someones code base, just a zip file with a visual studio solution but it doesn't build. Just has a few hundred errors 'Type or namespace name x could not be found.' When i look at 'Manage packages for solution...' all of the packages are installed and it says the version of each one. Do I have to restore the packages? Reinstall the correct version of each one independently? How do I go about getting this solution to build on my machine? Thanks.
welcome to what's known as "DLL HELL" if you look at the right side of the solution explorer you should see yellow warning icons on each project, dig into those and manually install the missing packages –
