Installing Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Common to Visual Studio 2015

Question

simply I cannot do it, I get the error screenshot shown below all the time.

Could someone tell me what I do wrong?

• NuPackage Manager 3.3.0
• I did "Install-Package Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Common" on Console, still not installing and the same errors.

Answer 1

The error you are seeing indicates that the latest version of Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Common is not compatible with the .NET target framework for your project which is .NET Framework 4.5.2. You can set it to .Net Framework 4.6 by right clicking on the project -> Properties -> Application Tab and set Target Framework to .NET Framework 4.6 and you should be able to install the latest Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Common package.

Alternatively, if you want to continue to run your project using 4.5.2 framework, try this older version of the package Install-Package Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Common -Version 1.3.2
