Trying to install MiniProfiler v4 (4.0.0) and get an error related to the following:
Install-Package : Could not install package 'Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.Abstractions 2.0.0'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETFramework,Version=v4.6.2', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that
are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.
However on nuget, it only really mentions .net framework:
https://www.nuget.org/packages/MiniProfiler/4.0.0

I am trying to install Google DialogFlow from nuget in .net v4.6. But it does not install. And I have to use .net v4.6 coz I have an integration with workflow foundation.
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error Could not install package 'Google.Cloud.Dialogflow.V2 3.0.0'.
You are trying to install this package into a project that targets
'.NETFramework, Version=v4.6', but the package does not contain any
assembly references or content files that are compatible with that
framework. For more information, contact the package author.
What fixes can I try?
As mentioned by #kanlis_, for .NETFramework 4.6.1 use the Google DialogFlow package version 3.8.0 as mentioned here.
I want to use WebDriverManager in my code when I am trying to install the reference from the Nuget Package Manager I get an error.
I have tried updating and degrading the .Net framework.
Can we use WebDriverManager 2.7.0 with .Net framework 4.5?
Error Message seen is :
Could not install package 'WebDriverManager 2.7.0'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETFramework, Version=v4.5', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.
I know this post is old but I ran into the same issue today and was able to figure it out. You need to install version 2.2.7 instead. WebDriverMangaer version 2.2.8 and above require .Net Standard 2.0 which is only compatible with .NET Framework 4.6.1 and above.
When I try to install Firebase Messaging Nuget package on the solution it gives me this error -
"Could not install package 'Xamarin.Firebase.Messaging 42.1021.1'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'Xamarin.iOS,Version=v1.0', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author."
And for the android installation it says
"Could not install package 'Xamarin.Firebase.Messaging 42.1021.1'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETPortable,Version=v4.6,Profile=Profile44', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author."
How do I get it to install?
The solution is to use the latest stable Xamarin.Forms and have your project's compileSdkVersion (so Target Framework) set to 7.0 or higher. You will then be able to install newer versions of Android Support and therefore Google Play Services packages.
Happy coding!!
When installing Xamarin.Auth to my project with NuGet, I get this error:
Could not install package 'Validation 2.0.4.14103'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'Xamarin.iOS,Version=v1.0', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.
This is because the NuGet dependency behaviour is set to 'lowest' and Validation 2.0.4.14103 is not compatible with Xamarin.iOS,Version=v1.0
Here is a workaround:
Install the Validation NuGet package first, using the latest version 2.3.7.
Then install Xamarin.Auth, and it should work as expected without the error.
We are trying to install Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client in a project that's targeting .NET Framework 4.0. Unfortunately the servers we are working on don't support .NET Framework 4.5.
When using Nuget Package Manager Console with the Install-Package command we are receiving the following error,
PM> install-package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client
Installing 'Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client 5.1.1'.
.

.
Install-Package : Could not install package 'Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client 5.1.1'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETFramework,Version=v4.0', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.
How do we choose the right .NET framework is there a command-line argument where we can mention the .NET version?
Thanks,
You can't select the .NET version, but you can select the version of the NuGet package:
PM> Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client -Version <package version>
So what you'd need to do is to figure out which version was the latest version that supported .NET 4.0. IIRC, it was 4.0.30506.
So, to install version 4.0.30506, you use the command
PM> Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client -Version 4.0.30506
Some NuGet packages can contain builds for various different .NET versions (e.g. .NET 3.5, .NET 4, .NET 4.5, etc.), but ASP.NET Web API 2 only supports .NET 4.5.
ASP.NET Web API version 4.0.30506, on the other hand, corresponds to ASP.NET Web API 1, and IIRC it runs on .NET 4.0.
