Error when installing from Nuget VS2015

Hi,
I'm facing with this error when installing from Nuget in VS2015:

Install-Package : Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\username.nuget\packages\Xam.Plugins.Settings\1.5.1\content\portable-net45%2Bwp8%2Bwpa81%2Bwin8%2BMonoAndroid10%2BM
onoTouch10\Helpers\Settings.cs.pp'.
At line:1 char:16

• Install-Package <<<< Xam.Plugins.Settings
  • CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Install-Package], Exception
  • FullyQualifiedErrorId : NuGetCmdletUnhandledException,NuGet.PackageManagement.PowerShellCmdlets.InstallPackageCommand

Could you please help?

Thanks,

Fixed in 1.5.2, just published.

This actually seems to be an issue with VS 2015 NuGet Package manager that it can't find the cs.pp
Work around is to create a folder called Helpers and create a Settings.cs in there. :(

I The issue is because of the folder url :portable-net45+wp8+wpa81+win8+MonoAndroid10+M
onoTouch10 has been encoded and changed to the portable-net45%2Bwp8%2Bwpa81%2Bwin8%2BMonoAndroid10%2BM
onoTouch10. It cannot add reference to project sucessfull

I'm seeing a similar issue with Xam.Plugin.Connectivity. Installs into the platform projects okay, but in the Xamarin.Forms PCL project I get this error:

System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\rmdne.nuget\packages\Xam.Plugin.Connectivity\1.0.2\content\portable-net45%2Bwp8%2Bwpa81%2Bwin8%2BMonoAndroid10%2BMonoTouch10%2BXamarin.iOS10\PluginsHelp\ConnectivityReadme.txt.pp'.

If you url decode that path, the file DOES exist. So it seems to be an erroneous URL encoding taking place. But I'm wondering why it happens specifically for Xamarin.Plugins packages. Other packages install fine into the same PCL (for example, I just installed AutoMapper--but that seems to use dynamic targeting).

I have created an new issue: NuGet/Home#1087

Going to close as there is a work around and now fixed in the NuGet library and is out of my control
