Custom nuget feed, VS doesn't see package as installed

Hi all I have a local Nuget source with a package containing some default items I want in my projects (default corporate models and styles and some default pages). It is only copying items in to the project and adding a connection string to the web.config, nothing fancy.

I can install the package via the Package Manager Console and the GUI. However, it never shows as installed. This means that I cannot update it nor can I uninstall it. If I go to the GUI, it shows the package as not installed, even though it has added all items to the project and has a folder for the package in the packages directory.

Also, I want to use this NuGet package to overwrite some files that already exist in the default MVC project (such as AccountController and LogonUserControl.ascx). Can this be done or will I need to start off with the blank MVC template instead of the default?

Packages.config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<packages>
 <package id="MyCompanyMVC" version="1.1" />
</packages>

NuGet won't overwrite files - I don't believe there's a way to force it, however you could probably "work around" this by using a PowerShell script (tools/install.ps1) to delete the old file and rename your injected file to have the required name.
