"Unable to locate package source vsupdate_KB2829760" Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate Update 5

Question

I have installed Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate. Then tried to update Nuget Package Manager, which redirected me to download VS2013.5.exe from microsoft. But when I try to install the update I get the error:

None of the options worked. I even tried to locate the folder vsupdate_kb2829760 from the DVD, and could not find it. Some of the answers pointed out that WebDeploy is needed because of some SSL or Certificate issue. I downloaded and installed WebDeploy_amd64_en-US.msi but that did nothing to resolve the issue, even after I have restarted.

Some of the answers I found mention Visual Studio 2012 Update 4, which does not seem to be applicable to the update I am trying to run.

How do I resolve this issue?

PS: I also tried un-installing VS2013 Ultimate and installed VS2013 Professional, but got the same issue.

Answer 1

For anyone else experiencing this problem I found this link that contains all the Visual Studio 2013 downloads. I was able to download the full Update 5 disc image and install it that way.

Answer 2

I was experiencing the same error but with a different missing file. The issue was that I wasn't mounting the installer's iso properly, see this thread .

Answer 3

copy the "packages" folder from your install (mounted ISO or whatever) into the directory you are running the VS2013.4 (or version)
