I'm using NuGet Packager Manager v1.5.20831.9017.

I'm using Package Manager Console to install MvcScaffolding. There are some error occurred during installation and I can't Add Controller anymore after I install this package.

The main error message is

Unable to find type [T4Scaffolding.NuGetServices.Services.ScaffoldingPackagePathResolver]: make sure that the assembly containing this type is loaded.

Here is the detailed output when I installing MvcScaffolding.

By the way, I've been removed Reflector from my Visual Studio 2010. The problem still exists.

Also, I can install this package without any problem on the other machine. I don't know what's going on.

Does anyone who know how to solve this problem?

 

Thanks!

Finally, if I import "T4Scaffolding.NuGetServices.dll" module into Package Manager Console by hand.  The problem will be solved.  

Here is the command line: 

Import-Module "G:\Projects\MvcApplication1\packages\T4Scaffolding.1.0.4\tools\T4Scaffolding.NuGetServices.dll"

BUT, I have to run this command everytime I start-up Visual Studio 2010.  Why this dll doesn't loaded automatically?

I saw the init.ps1 script in the T4Scaffolding package load T4Scaffolding.dll specifically, but I can't see this script load T4Scaffolding.NuGetServices.dll at all.

Do you know how PMC load assembly automatically?  I would like to figure it out why my Visual Studio 2010 doesn't load this depend assembly automatically.

Thanks!
