v1.2.3 nuget package malformed

[ghost]

Using nuget.exe, not Visual Studio, version 1.2.3 nuget package cannot be installed. The dll and pdb seem to have an encoded path rather than being actually in a lib\net40 folder. If you open with Windows Explorer or 7zip this is easy to see. Or rename nupkg to .zip and extract. For reference v1.1.0 is fine.

Any plans on fixing the Nuget package so we can use NuGet to install this?

Will do it this weekend

@jdmgomoo @jci-trawicki I can't reproduce this issue. Can you please provide more details like screen shots?

[JustinMason]

To reproduce this I did the following steps.

Open a Command prompt and execute each line:

mkdir nugetTest
cd nugetTest
nuget install System.Web.Optimization.Less
cd System.Web.Optimization.Less.1.2.3
dir

I am seeing that the contents are still compressed into the package file:
System.Web.Optimization.Less.1.2.3.nupkg and the file System.Web.Optimization.Less.1.2.3.dll is not extracted into the lib/net40 directory.

If you change the extention on the System.Web.Optimization.Less.1.2.3.nupkg to ".zip"
and open it you will see the DLL name is the encoded and includes the folder names.
lib%5Cnet40%5CSystem.Web.Optimization.Less.dll

This should extract to lib/net40/.

The other package dependencies install correctly.
For example Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.dll installs in the directory Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.1.0.0.0\lib\net40

I hope that helps.

@jdmgomoo
I did what exactly you commented and can't reproduce it. The dll is extracted into the lib/net40 directly.
Did you use the latest nuget.exe? what's your system locale setting?
