NuGet fails to find existing package

I know this thread is very old, but someone who has this problem like me in these days, find my solution for solving such problem here.

I've installed Visual Studio 2012/2015/2017 parallel, and 2012 failed with "package not found error". So I take a look in the NuGet-settings in VS2017 and found the following package resource:

https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json

I just added this location to the package resources and vòila, the searched packages where found and installed (in my example the HtmlRenderer).

But be careful with compatibility to Framework 2.0! This setting breaks maybe the functionality to version 2.0!!

Hope this helps someone sometimes somewhere.

Greetings

NuGet currently has some service issues related to search and package restore functionality. It is possible this is the cause of your package restore failure.

If other dev machines are working OK, it's likely they have access to a cached version of this package.
