How can I install NuGet Package Manager in Visual Studio 2010?

I have already tried two options, but they haven't worked.

Firstly, I attempted to install nuget.tools from this URL: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=NuGetTeam.NuGetPackageManager. However, I received this error message

Secondly, I tried to install it from the Extension Manager, but I received the error message

Cannot search for online extensions because an error occurred while trying to contact the server

None of the online forums I have found have been able to help with these two issues.

  • It's probable that the package manager simply isn't made to go with Visual Studio 2010. – StriplingWarrior Feb 17 '23 at 03:33
  • I'm guessing using a newer editor isn't possible? – gunr2171 Feb 17 '23 at 03:34

    @StriplingWarrior, Actually, that package manager is for Visual Studio 2010. – DDNL Feb 17 '23 at 03:58
  • Good point. Now that I'm looking at it more carefully, it looks like the installer isn't finding Visual Studio 2010 installed on your machine, even though it's finding the other more modern versions. I almost hate to ask, because it seems obvious, but: do you have Visual Studio 2010 installed? – StriplingWarrior Feb 17 '23 at 05:32

  • According to [Visual Studio 2010 Lifecyle](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/visual-studio-2010), Visual Studio 2010 is no longer supported. – Tu deschizi eu inchid Feb 17 '23 at 05:40
  • @StriplingWarrior, yes , I have VS2010 in my pc. – DDNL Feb 17 '23 at 07:20
  • @user09938, the one that you shared doesn't work for me, as I checked. – DDNL Feb 17 '23 at 07:23
  • For the part you've labeled "Secondly", make a backup copy of `%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe.config`, then modify it as mentioned in the first section of this [post](https://stackoverflow.com/a/74800036/10024425) (ie: add the XML to the file as described). You'll most likely find that the location (ie: URL) no longer exists. – Tu deschizi eu inchid Feb 17 '23 at 17:13
