How do I install ServiceStack.Interfaces?

I have tried installing the ServiceStack Framework on both .Net 4.0 and .Net 4.5 applications. I have gotten the same error both times:

Install failed. Rolling back...
Install-Package : Could not install package 'ServiceStack.Interfaces 4.0.31'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETFramework,Version=v4.0', but the package does not contain any 
assembly references that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.
At line:1 char:1
+ Install-Package Servicestack
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Install-Package], InvalidOperationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NuGetCmdletUnhandledException,NuGet.PowerShell.Commands.InstallPackageCommand

and

What gives?

The "upgrade Nuget" option was not working for me. Turns out that versions of ServiceStack do have .NET limits. Our application is .NET 4.0, so ServiceStack.Interfaces 4.062 was the highest version we could install.

The major change to happen to ServiceStack.Interfaces is that it's now a portable library as of v4.0.30 supporting most supported platforms (Profile136):

  • .NET 4.0+
  • Xamarin.iOS
  • Xamarin.Android
  • Windows Store
  • Silverlight 5

If NuGet is reporting that it can't find the necessary assembly references for a supported platform than it's likely that you're using an older version of NuGet that doesn't include PCL support, which can be resolved by upgrading to the latest NuGet.
