EventStore build.cmd Errors

Question

Just getting started with JOlivers event store library and having issues with some of the Nuget commands in the build.cmd. here's the log, perhaps you're already aware of the issue but i thought i'd put it up here.

=== COMPILING ===

Answer 1

The master branch of EventStore appears to be broken at the moment. The 3.0 branch is in better shape but is also slightly broken. To fix the 3.0 branch so that it builds, you need to upgrade the 1.5 version of nuget.exe to 1.6. The easiest way to do that is to execute \bin\nuget\NuGet.exe update -self in the repository. I already submitted a pull request to JOliver with that change.

(I also submitted a pull request with a few minor fixes for the example project.)
