Error Installing NuGet 1.8

NuGet 1.8 seems to have some interesting new features. Unfortunately when I attempt to update from within Visual Studio, I get the error:

Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: v1

I figured I would just install it from outside Visual Studio and see if that works better, but the download link I found

http://nuget.codeplex.com/releases

does not list any downloads for "NuGet Visual Studio extension".

How can I update NuGet?

Update

This is on Windows 7 64-bit, Visual Studio Ultimate 2010SP 1, upgrading from recent NuGet version (how do I check version number?) to NuGet 1.8.

Based on the comments, I did the following:

  • Closed all instances of Visual Studio
  • Started a new instance of Visual Studio as Administrator
  • Tools / Extension Manager
  • Select NuGet Package Manager
  • Click Uninstall (if you're not Administrator, Uninstall is grayed out)
  • Restart Visual Studio (still as Administrator)
  • Tools / Extension Manager
  • Online Gallery
  • Install NuGet
  • Restarted Visual Studio (this time not as Administrator)
  • Resumed work
