First I would check if your MusicKarma project has Microsoft Net Compilers in its packages config file  If not then you could remove everything to do with that NuGet package from your MusicKarma csproj   If you are using the Microsoft Net Compilers NuGet package then my guess is that the path is incorrect  Looking at the directory name in the error message I would guess that the MusicKarma solution file   sln  is in the same directory as the MusicKarma csproj  If so then the packages directory is probably wrong since by default the packages directory would be inside the solution directory  So I am assuming that your packages directory is   C  Users Bryan Documents Visual Studio 2015 Projects MusicKarma packages   Whilst your MusicKarma csproj file is looking for the props file in   C  Users Bryan Documents Visual Studio 2015 Projects packages Microsoft Net Compilers 1 1 1 build   So if that is the case then you can fix the problem by editing the path in your MusicKarma csproj file or by reinstalling the NuGet package

Quick solution that worked like a charm for me and others   If you are using VS 2015   just remove the following lines from the  csproj file of your project      lt Import Project    SolutionDir   nuget NuGet targets  Condition  Exists    SolutionDir   nuget NuGet targets      gt     lt Target Name  EnsureNuGetPackageBuildImports  BeforeTargets  PrepareForBuild  gt       lt PropertyGroup gt         lt ErrorText gt This project references NuGet package s  that are missing on this computer  Enable NuGet Package Restore to download them   For more information  see http   go microsoft com fwlink  LinkID 322105  The missing file is  0   lt  ErrorText gt       lt  PropertyGroup gt       lt Error Condition   Exists    SolutionDir   nuget NuGet targets    Text     System String   Format    ErrorText       SolutionDir   nuget NuGet targets       gt     lt  Target gt    In VS 2015  Solution Explorer    Right-click project name -  Unload Project Right-click project name -  Edit  csproj  Remove the lines specified above from the file and save Right-click project name -  Reload Project

This problem appeared for me when I was creating folders in the filesystem  not in my solution  and moved some projects around   Turns out that the package paths are relative from the csproj files  So I had to change the  HintPath  of my references    lt Reference Include  EntityFramework  Version 6 0 0 0  Culture neutral  PublicKeyToken b77a5c561934e089  processorArchitecture MSIL  gt       lt HintPath gt    packages EntityFramework 6 1 3 lib net45 EntityFramework dll lt  HintPath gt       lt Private gt True lt  Private gt   lt  Reference gt    To    lt Reference Include  EntityFramework  Version 6 0 0 0  Culture neutral  PublicKeyToken b77a5c561934e089  processorArchitecture MSIL  gt       lt HintPath gt       packages EntityFramework 6 1 3 lib net45 EntityFramework dll lt  HintPath gt       lt Private gt True lt  Private gt   lt  Reference gt    Notice the double       in  HintPath    I also had to change my error conditions  for example I had to change    lt Error Condition   Exists     packages Microsoft Net Compilers 1 1 1 build Microsoft Net Compilers props    Text     System String   Format    ErrorText        packages Microsoft Net Compilers 1 1 1 build Microsoft Net Compilers props       gt    To    lt Error Condition   Exists        packages Microsoft Net Compilers 1 1 1 build Microsoft Net Compilers props    Text     System String   Format    ErrorText           packages Microsoft Net Compilers 1 1 1 build Microsoft Net Compilers props       gt    Again  notice the double
