All reference are broken by opening this solution with VS2015 Update1

As subject
All reference are broken by opening this solution with VS2015 Update1 and apparently no way of restoring missing packages:
NuGet Package restore failed for project WPFDesigner_XML: Unable to find version '14.0.22823-RC' of package 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.14.0'

I'm not able to reproduce this one. Can you check your NuGet Package Manager options in Tools > Options > NuGet Package Manager > Package Sources and make sure nuget.org (https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json) is checked?

to reproduce the issue

1. download source code at https://github.com/Microsoft/VSSDK-Extensibility-Samples/archive/master.zip
2. unzip it
3. open VSSDK-Extensibility-Samples-master\WPFDesigner_XML\WPFDesigner_XML.sln with visual studio 2015 update 1
4. rebuild the project

You will get the situation reported in the screenshot above.

P.s. just for your information, the error is talking about nugget packages but if you go a bit deeper you will understand that all the broken reference are local references.
I suppose because this project was ported from a previous version of vs to vs 2015 rc but never ported to rtm or rtm update 1.

I've followed those steps and I can't reproduce the situation. But it does look like there are some hardcoded HintPaths in there that should be relative:
C:\Users\v-rokuhl\Source\Repos\VSIDEProj.VSSDKSamples\Samples\Completed_Samples\WPFDesigner_XML\packages\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Validation.14.0.50417-pre\lib\net45\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Validation.dll should be ..\packages\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Validation.14.0.50417-pre\lib\net45\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Validation.dll, for example. Let me get a PR with a fix for this to see if that'll help.

I've merged the PR, can you pull and check again? Make sure that you have the nuget.org option checked in your Nuget Package Manager settings.

Now it works like a charme. Perfect!
Thank you!
