Could not find nuget package location.

[Becks723]

Failed to build my host project after adding the host package.
I tried to look into error details, then i found the command line did not find my correct nuget path.

see:

vst.net/Source/Code/Jacobi.Vst.CLI/FileExtensions.cs

Line 8 in 33283e8

public static string GetNuGetLocation()

Some time before i moved my package location to D disk because my C disk is too full. It's now on "D:.nuget\packages". So what should i do to make command line recognize the new location?

As you can see the location of the nuget packages is hard-coded.
How did you change the nuget package location?

[Becks723]

1. first move the .nuget folder to the destination (in my case D:.nuget)
2. next modify nuget.config (located in C:\Users\Becks723\AppData\Roaming\NuGet in my case):
   add xml node <config> <add key="globalPackagesFolder" value="D:\.nuget\Packages" /> </config>, then save. Done.

But i'm now not using the nuget package but building my custom dlls, manually referencing them.

Just suppose better ways instead of the hardcoded location, to get user-specific nuget path. However currently I don't have any idea about it.

Thanks. Agree that hardcoding the path is sub-optimal. I think I will try to read the nuget config as well...
I see there is also an environment variable that Nuget supports: NUGET_PACKAGES. Perhaps I can support that too.

Will be fixed in next release.

VST.NET2 v2.03 should fix this.
