Nuget Package Manager for Visual Studio 2012 not opening at all - visual-studio

I have been trying to find a solution for this since almost 3 days, but i'm stuck and cant figure out why the Nuget package manager is just not opening, it does not even give any error.
Things i have tried so far:
Uninstalled and re-installed the nuget package manager from within VS 2012 but it didnt work
Uninstalled and re-installed Visual Studio 2012 and then tried the above step once again, but still nothing happened.
When i navigate to Tools -> Library Package Manager -> and click on all the options listed in it, nothing opens, no sign of any error etc.
Can someone please help me with a workaround for this problem.

Cannot find UnityEngine.InputSystem

I am currently working on a new unity project and to be honest i am new at this.
I need to use the InputSystem package but Visual studio does not recognize it.
This is the version of my VS. Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 Version 16.9.3 and the version of Unity is 2020.2.1
As you can see by the picture, my VS already knows that I am working in a Unity project.
So the first thing that I tried doing is to regenerate project files but it didnt work. I also selected my VS as my default external script editor.
This is my external tools.
I re-installed VS using unity hub but nothing happend.
Do you have any suggestions? I followed some tutorials I saw over the internet but I am still getting no positive results and to be honest, I am getting out of ideas.
Just tested out the package installation. I installed the package in a fresh, empty Unity project. Here are the steps that I went through which worked in my case:
Locate the Input System package in the Package Manager
Click install
A warning prompt will appear, click yes
Unity Editor should now get re-launched on it's own, wait for that to happen
If Visual Studio is open, close it
Open Visual studio - right click on the Assets folder and select Open C# project
UnityEngine.InputSystem namespace should now be available, if not, re-open Visual Studio one more time
Let me know if it works for you.
For me works when I install .NET and .NET Core and reboot the computer. (made this on Windows)

Cannot install any Visual Studio program

I have been trying to install Visual Studio for a couple of days now and none have operated. First I tried Visual Studio Community 2017 and the installer was installed and then the vs was installed but when I try and run it I got an error message that directed me to the ActivityLog file. I've tried uninstalling it then reinstalling it but that didn't work. I came across a solution that required me to try opening it using the Developer Command Prompt which I wanted to do but when I clicked on it from the Start menu it said that the link is missing. There was another Visual Studio program that had also installed and when I tried loading that one, it also directed me an ActivityLog file.
So I uninstalled the 2017 version and tried installing an earlier version hoping that it would work. I can reinstall for whomsoever would want to see the error message as well as the log file.
I then tried the 2013 version (since that is the one we use at school anyway). After downloading the file, I do not even get to an installation screen. A pop-up appears that says that the program requires the Microsoft .NET framework to work
Installation pop up window
The first time I tried it gave me options to accept and continue or cancel so I clicked on accept and continue and that was the end of it. Nothing happened after that. Now when I click on the installation file it just appears as in the picture above with no options. I tried to follow the instructions on Cannot install Visual Studio 2017 Community since that is the closet to my problem that I have found but it still didn't work.
Please help. I really need at least one Visual Basic to work.

xamarin project type incompatible

This error started showing from yesterday, I remember installing Web development packages and updates windows. Before that if was working fine.
If I reload project same error shows up.
The application which this project type is based on was not found.
Please try this link for further information:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=299083&projecttype=EFBA0AD7-5A72-4C68-AF49-83D382785DCF
This link redirects https://www.xamarin.com/visual-studio page , which is nothing but xamarin download page.
I tried uninstalling Xamarin packages and reinstalling.
It did not solve the issue.
Now I am doing complete uninstall of MS Visual Studio 2017
Please note that no changes have been made to csproj or solution file.
I get the "xamarin project type incompatible" frequently. (VS2015)
The solution for me:
Close down VS.
In the src project folder delete the .vs folder.
Restart VS.
Complete uninstall of Visual Studio along with C++ distributables from Control Panel > Programs and Features and then re-installing Visual Studio fixed the issue. Seems its caused by errors in installation
Microsoft should code properly and let programmers know if there were errors and 'repair' option is supposed to fix them. I don't know why these things are missed out in roll-outs.

Nuget Package Manager Unresponsive in VS 2015

I just completed a fresh install of Visual Studio Enterprise 2015.
When I run Visual Studio, go to Tools > NuGet Package Manager, and select 1 of the 3 options (Package Manager Console, Manage NuGet Packages for Solution or Package Manager Settings), nothing happens. The menu closes and no windows appear.
When I go to Options > NuGet Package Manager, I get "An error occurred loading this property page."
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing NuGet Package Manager from Extensions and Updates, but this doesn't solve the problem. I have also downloaded NuGet.Tools.vsix and when I run this, it tells me that the extension is already installed to all applicable products.
I don't know if I'm missing a setting that enables the Package Manager in Visual Studio, or if this problem is caused by something else...
Un-install Nuget Package that came with Visual Studio 2015 RTM ( Tools->Extensions and Updates).
Re-install latest (3.1.60 or >) Nuget Package Manager Visual Studio Extension ( from Online)
Then you can open without errors or silently failing
I just came across the same issues as Sean, I found that updating to the latest version of the package manager (3.1.60724.766 at time of writing) seemed to resolve the issue.
Yea npm is buggy in 2015 remove dependency check when installing and it should work.
I had exactly the same problem that sean described. Uninstalling NuGet and installing the newest version from the website did not seem to have any effects.
But this way worked for me:
I went to Windows' Control Panel where you can uninstall software. Visual Studio 2015 has a repair option there. I tried it. The repair dialog recommended to update the repair routine first. So I updated, that needed a few minutes. After this I let the repair routine run. It needed something like one and a half hour. And then the problem was away!
This turned out to be a permissions issue that I encountered after the VS installation. I'm not sure if it was a bug in VS or something that is exclusive to my network account settings.

Unable to Debug, Load or Install any VSPackage

I tried to create a tool window for visual studio 2013 Update2. I did File->NewProject->Visual Studio Package and inside the wizard I checked Tool Window. Then I pressed F5 and I saw my tool window inside the Exp instance of VS under View->OtherWindows. Yeah, it is working!!!
Then I created a new package with proper names. Unfortunately at the moment I am not able to Debug, Load or even install the package on normal visual studio instance. Just nothing happens. No errors, no exceptions, no tool window option showing under View->OtherWindows. I can clearly see the package under Tools->Extensions and Updates....
I tried to:
Uninstall and Install again
Clear all cache under \AppData\~..~\Extensions\ and \AppData\~..~\ComponentModelCache
Create another package. May be I did > 20 packages with defaults
Restart PC
Clear all records in registry for already installed packages
All possible combinations of the steps above
What else I could try? Ideas?
PS: I forgot to mention that I have latest Roslyn installed.
