I'm facing this issue from time to time where I can't install new packages to my project, Nuget keeps showing this error, from the command shell and GUI.

I installed/reinstalled NuGet to no avail.

Can anyone point out possible reasons/solutions for this?

File permission denied for reading config files ? Try with VS as administrator ? – C4stor Jun 10 '13 at 10:16
    
I'm running VS as administrator. I tried removing certain entries from packages.config and it seems to work, need to know now why are these entries crashing nuget – Tamim Salem Jun 10 '13 at 11:35
    
What entries did you remove? Would you provide their XML? – Mzn Jun 10 '13 at 12:35
    
They were entries specific to my project, nothing general. – Tamim Salem Jun 10 '13 at 12:39

Ok Fixed.

It seems the issue was with packages installed on my machine.

I started commenting the packages.config entries one by one and see if the issue was resolved, once I identified few packages as problematic, I removed their entries from the packages.config file and removed the directories associated with them from the "packages" folder (some of the folders had missing .nuspec files, I assume that caused issues).

after that I reinstalled the packages that I removed and everything works perfectly now.
