The schema version of 'Newtonsoft.Json' is incompatible

Question

I am using Visual Studio Express Web 2012. Recently, my computer crashed so have switched to a new laptop. The same visual studio after restoring the code is throwing an error as:

The schema version of 'Newtonsoft.Json' is incompatible with version 2.2.40116.9051 of NuGet.

Of course, VS suggests:

Please upgrade NuGet to the latest version from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=213942.

I did upgrade NuGet but still I'm receiving the same problem.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Answer 1

Have you tried updating to VS 2015? It looks like the latest NuGet versions are compatible with either VS 2013 or 2015.
