Release Notes

This is a bootstrapper that will download the latest version of nuget.exe available and perform an in-place update the first time it's run.

Note that once you get nuget.exe, you can easily keep it up to date by running 'nuget update', which will perform another in-place update if a newer version is available.

By default, this nuget.exe command-line utility will connect to the internet and download NuGet packages from https://nuget.org. If you have modified your NuGet feed sources, those settings will be respected.

So I used this exe today and it still downloaded v1.7 of NuGet. What do I do to get the latest 1.8 version of NuGet? Please note I don't want the Visual Studio tools. I only want the stand alone exe.

I happen to agree with both benaston and jcollum because I had the same thing happened when I dl'd this application. I ASSUMED that "nuget.exe" identified a self-extracting installer and was NOT the actual application that executes. Maybe a little documentation would have given us the a..b..c..'s of how to get up and running with this application. Once I figured out that I needed to update my Sy

I'll quote the guy below me, because he's absolutely correct: This is an excellent indepensible tool. I am ashamed to see all these low ratings because people don't understand what nuget.exe is. User ignorance != bad product.

I run the installer and it runs and closes without any indication of an action occurring... leaving me confused. Another day in the life of a developer in the Microsoft ecosystem.

Installer should add nuget.exe to the PATH.

the downloader didn't run in system32 and didn't even say what was wrong - it did work ok in another random file when started with admin privs - the documentation could be better

Behind corporate firewall.v1.0.0.0 is downloaded. Receive 'Your credentials could not be authenticated: "Credentials are missing."' error on update. Help? Please place the latest build here and not this (for me) useless bootstrapper
