Nuget returned an unexpected status code '404 Not Found' - Package on local drive

Question

Trying to generate a Nuget Package from dll. One of our project is generating ConfigurationCore.dll and References of project assemblies given below

• Microsoft.CSharp
• Newtonsoft.Json
• Mak.Enums (Custom Nuget Package available on local Nuget Server)
• Mak.Operations (Custom Nuget Package available on local Nuget Server)
• PresentationCore, PresentationFramework, PresentationFramework.Aero
• System, System.Core, System.Data, System.Data.DataSetExtensions
• System.Drawing, System.IO.Compression, System.IO.Compression.FileSystem
• System.Net.Http, System.Runtime.Serialization, System.Web
• System.Xaml, System.Xml, System.Xml.Linq, WindowsBase

Using below ConfigurationCore.nuspec to generate Nuget Package

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<package >
<metadata>
<id>ConfigurationCore</id>
<version>1.2.0</version>
<title>Configuration Core</title>

Update your Nuget package link.

Go to Project -> Manage Nuget Packages.

Answer 4

Nuget returned an unexpected status code '404 Not Found' - Package on local drive

1. Make sure the path in the src="..." is correct.

   Perhaps the path should be:

   ...\ConfigurationCore\ConfigurationCore\... rather than ...\ConfigurationCore\....

   In short, make sure you can find the dll file base on that url.

   Note: Generally, we recommend using relative paths in url, like:

   <file src="bin\x86\Test\ConfigurationCore.dll" target="lib\net461" />

2. Update the version of nuget.exe.

   There is an issue on the nuget.exe 3.4.x, so please download nuget.exe 3.5 and above.

See Create nuget package from dlls for more detailed info.

Update: Please following below steps to create the nuget package:

1. Download the nuget.exe, and set it on your local, for example, D:\NuGetLocalFolder.

2. Create a new project with project name "ConfigurationCore".

3. Open a cmd and switch to the path where nuget.exe was stored previously.

4. Use command line:

   nuget spec "C:\Users\<Username>\Source\repos\ConfigurationCore\ConfigurationCore\ConfigurationCore.csproj"
   

   

   You will find the .nuspec be genererated, Do not close this CMD window.

5. Edit the ConfigurationCore.csproj.nuspec file and modify it, below is my .nuspec file:

   <?xml version="1.0"?>
   <package >
     <metadata>
       <id>ConfigurationCore</id>
       <version>1.2.0</version>
       <title>Configuration Core</title>
       <authors>MAKK</authors>
       <owners>IT Department</owners>
       <requireLicenseAcceptance>false</requireLicenseAcceptance>

       <dependencies>
         <dependency id="Newtonsoft.Json" version="10.0.3" />
       </dependencies>
     </metadata>
     <files>
       <file src="C:\Users\Admin\Source\repos\ConfigurationCore\ConfigurationCore\bin\x86\Test\ConfigurationCore.dll" target="lib\net461" />
     </files>
   </package>
   

6. Save ConfigurationCore.csproj.nuspec file, and back to your CMD window, using pack command to generate the nuget package:

   

   The package ConfigurationCore.1.2.0.nupkg was created into the folder where nuget.exe exists, D:\NuGetLocalFolder.
