Is MvcScaffolding compatible with VS 2013 RC by command line?

Question

At NuGet when I try to install MvcScaffolding, by typing:

Install-Package MvcScaffolding

I am getting this error

Set-DefaultScaffolder : Cannot get an instance of EnvDTE.DTE

Is it happening because of this new scaffolding engine in Visual Studio 2013 ?

I'm having the same problem with visual studio 2013 Ultimate RC — Maximo Dominguez, Sep 14 '13 at 21:16
As of todays date...I am also having this problem. And none of the prescribed solutions are working — Prisoner ZERO, Jun 20 '14 at 16:50

I emailed Scott Hanselman about this a few weeks back. Here's his response:

We've found out what's up and we are going to release a fixed version, although we're taking Scaffolding in a new direction with VS2013 we still want this to work. Thanks for finding this bug.

So I'd keep eyes peeled for a new release of MvcScaffold that will hopefully resolve this. In the mean time, there are new features for VS2013 that take scaffolding in a much-improved direction, so you may want to investigate those.

Edit: There's a new package available (make sure to run VS2013 as admin to get it to work):

Install-Package MvcScaffolding -Version 1.0.8-vs2013 -Pre

The same problem here the error is still not solved, it would be nice if they solve it because I have to start a new project using Visual Studio 2013, it would be very disappointing to have such problem just at its start :D – Amedio Nov 11 '13 at 08:10

I have also this problem and I can't install the package 1.0.8-vs2013, it doesn't install – binard Nov 12 '13 at 20:14

For those having problems make sure to run VS2013 as admin – ctrlShiftBryan Nov 24 '13 at 17:25

I came across this same bug in VS2015. I pulled the source, fixed the bugs, and uploaded new NuGet packages with linked dependencies. The 3 new packages are:

If you simply install the MvcScaffolding package, the other packages will be pulled through. Hope this helps someone else. Cheers.

Worked for me on VS2013 as well. – Leonel Sanches da Silva Oct 06 '15 at 19:15

I found that I had to go into my .\packages folder (for the solution) and manually delete all MvcScaffolding and T4Scaffolding package folders (I have the NuGet "restore packages" feature enabled that, I thought, would take care to restore anything that I should not have deleted, plus I made a backup).

After that, antinescience's Install-Package command for vs2013 worked fine, and so did the "Scaffold Controller ..." to scaffold an MVC5 controller.

Just a quick update, back on time when I wrote this question Visual Studio 2013 was still in Release Candidate. Now, 8 months later, Microsoft has just released Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 and since then everything is working well with MVCScaffolding.

I've test it in Windows 8 and 7. In Windows 7 it was necessary to install Windows Management Framework 4.0 before.
