I downloaded orchard (Orchard.Source.zip) and unzipped it. Then I opened using Visual Studio 2015. When I was trying to build, getting lots of error (286 errors). Most of those are .dll related error as it is unable to figure out the dll.

enter image description here

Extra steps which I tried to resolve:

  1. I updated all NuGet packages but still no luck. :(
  2. Tried to build each project manually but not working
  3. tried to change Target framework to .NET Framework 4.5 or other versions. but no luck

I am not sure, whether I missed anything? If you know what are the steps I am missing, can you please mention. Or if I need to do any more steps, please let me know.

Software I used: - VS2015 Enterprise [version 14.0.25431.01 Update 3] - Orchard 1.10.1 [from orchardproject.net/download and I used [Download the source] version]

Thanks

Do you have the newest updates for VS2015? Like Update 3? You can get it from here: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=691129

From where do you downloaded the source? http://orchardproject.net/ ? I recommend for you to double check the zipped file, and try to unzip it again. A lot of things could be wrong with it.

NuGet was not properly updating the references. So, I was getting those error. To solve all those errors, I manually updated to the missing packages and finally it solved.

One other alternative solution, you may try is: Right click on the Project, choose Mange NuGet Packages and then update all the required packages.

Hopefully, it will solve the errors. And you will be build the project successfully....
