I am running VS2010 Ultimate, I used to have VS Web Dev 2010 Express with Nuget before: I uninstalled it before installing Ultimate.
In admin mode I uninstalled Nuget 1.5 from vs, restarted vs in admin mode, installed 1.6, and then restarted vs. Nuget worked for several days.
The next day, the package manager wont come up – it doesnt give me an error, it just wont load. If I try to uninstall it, the uninstall button is greyed out (which I assume means that the addin is in use). If I restart vs, then I can uninstall.
I have tried uninstalling Nuget and reinstalling it several times (no error messages generated)
Trying to load Package Manager Console and the Package Manager Settings, dont launch anything.
Is there a way to install version 1.5? I’ve looked for a link but cannot find one.
Is there a log file I can check to see what is wrong?
This has been an extremely frustrating issue for me.
Update:
I used devenv /log, tried to open the package console.
Here’s part of the log file:

Thanks!
Finally got it working: had to delete c:\User Data\\AppData\Roaming\NuGet\NuGet.Config (which was empty) and now it can load.
