Question

I’m trying to get Selenium 2 WebDriver up and running locally on Windows 7. For some reason I am unable to install my NuGet packages I downloaded from here:

http://www.nuget.org/packages/Selenium.WebDriver/2.17.0

Not sure what I’m doing wrong.

Visual Studio 2010 > Tools > Library Package Manager > Package Manager Console

Try having a solution open when running install as per the message.
