Answer 1

I think your issue may be related with nuget. Can you try the following ?

1. Clearing the cache
2. Restoring or re-installing the packages
3. Changing the targetFramework
4. Updating the Nuget Package manager

Sometimes, packages are renamed or replaced by other packages. You can search the NuGet Gallery to see if there is a new package that supersedes the one you're trying to install.
