I am new to Visual Studio. I have cloned a git project that needs Boost.Test.
When I try to install Boost with the NuGet console (inside MSVC) I get this error below although the package clearly exists.
Is this the correct way to install Boost to use in a Visual Studio C project?

CodePudding user response：
I make a test according to your description and it installed boost correctly.
In your code the error shows that “Project 'Default' is not found”.
Please check this drop down box “Defalut project” in Package Manager Console, this error may occur if the project you selected has already been deleted or unload.
