Multi-Project Nuget Issues

I have a multi-project ASP.NET 4.0 Web Forms solution. Initially I created a project package consisting of static files: master, css, images, etc.

I have since upgraded to Nuget 1.4 to avail of a solution project (so I don't have to manually update each project). I planned to uninstall existing project package, then create and install a solution package containing the same common files.

After running Uninstall-Package MyProjectPackage, I noticed that there are still Nuget-related files in my projects. For example:

Project 1:

packages.config
Packages.dgml
MyProjectPackage.1.1.nuspec
MyProjectPackage.1.2.nupkg

Project 2:

MyProjectPackage.nuspec

Issues:

  1. They are greyed-out like they are not included in the solution anymore, but these files are still in the project folders. Should they not have been totally removed?

  2. I have created a new package using the GUI. What is the correct way to install this for the solution?

  3. How do I add NuGet to my path? (getting "The term 'nuget' is not recognized..." on command line)

UPDATE 08-24-2011:

I created a new solution package and added it via the Package Manager Settings. Unfortunately, when I install it, it is not being pushed out to sub-project. Cannot get this to work.

UPDATE 08-25-2011:

In an effort to narrow this down, when I try to Manage Installed Package at the solution level, I cannot get to the "Select Projects GUI" because there is no "Manage" button, only an "Uninstall" button, in the 'MyProject.sln - Manage NuGet Packages' dialog.

Package Contents (basic structure for brevity):

controls (Folder)
- Footer.ascx
- Footer.ascx.cs
- Footer.ascx.designer.cs

images (Folder)
- footer.jpg

masters (Folder)
- Site.Master
- Site.Master.cs
- Site.Master.designer.cs

style (Folder)
- style.css

Based on the structure you have, you need to put everything in a content/ for it to apply to a project.
