I have an ASP.NET MVC 5 project. It works fine, but every time I add a view (which successfully gets created) and then when I build solution I get error

This project references NuGet package(s) that are missing on this computer. Use NuGet Package Restore to download them. For more information, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=322105. The missing file is packages\EntityFramework.6.4.4\build\EntityFramework.props.

I have to update (goes back to 6.1.3 version every time) Entity Framework which annoys me a lot. is there anything I can do to to solve this permanently?

CodePudding user response：

Try to make the following steps:

1. Exit from the Visual Studio.
2. Remove the EntityFramework... folder from the packages
3. Remove <package id="EntityFramework" version="6.4.4" targetFramework="net472" /> line from the packages.config file using a text editor.
4. Open the solution and add the required package EntityFramework.6.4.4 again using the NuGet Package Manager.

NOTE: Watch closely to the installation log. Probably you will see error related to the version conflict.
