Problem referencing Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure

[dcorriveau-omniscient]

That package is very peculiar. I believe it is a dependency for SimpleInjector.Integration.Web. In my project file, I get this :

<Choose>
    <When Condition="$(TargetFrameworkIdentifier) == '.NETFramework' And ($(TargetFrameworkVersion) == 'v4.0' Or $(TargetFrameworkVersion) == 'v4.5' Or $(TargetFrameworkVersion) == 'v4.5.1' Or $(TargetFrameworkVersion) == 'v4.5.2' Or $(TargetFrameworkVersion) == 'v4.5.3' Or $(TargetFrameworkVersion) == 'v4.6' Or $(TargetFrameworkVersion) == 'v4.6.1')">
      <ItemGroup>
        <Reference Include="SimpleInjector.Integration.Web">
          <HintPath>..\packages\SimpleInjector.Integration.Web\lib\net40\SimpleInjector.Integration.Web.dll</HintPath>
          <Private>True</Private>
          <Paket>True</Paket>
        </Reference>
        <Reference Include="Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure">
          <Paket>True</Paket>
        </Reference>
      </ItemGroup>
    </When>
  </Choose>

But in VS, if I look at the references, that one isn't linked to any assembly (path is empty) and there is the yellow triangle next to the reference. I also get the warnings in the Error List pane:
The referenced component 'Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure' could not be found.

The package / assembly (Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.dll) exists in packages\Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure\lib\net40.

When I run the paket update command, if im on Nuget v2 api it tries to download
Downloading Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure 1.0.0.0
However if im on v3, it
Downloading Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure 1.0.0
(not sure if it's a hint or not).

Even if I manually paket add Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure to my projects, it does the same things. It does add the Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure (1.0.0) in the lock file after the update command. Do you think it's paket related, I'm pretty sure I managed to add that reference using Nuget before ?

the behaviour is as specified in the nuspec:

I believe Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure was previously installed in GAC from "something", but is now a Nuget package. Does it make sense ?

[forki]

Yep, but the package is not respecting that changes. You need to contact
the package author

As stated previously, this is not an issue with Paket so you can close this ticket.
However, if anybody stumbles on this page, one possible solution is to install the Assembly in GAC. Here's how you can list the Assemblies registered in GAC:

1. Run the following command from a Developer Command Prompt (run as admin):

gacutil -l > c:\gac.txt

If you don't see a line that looks like this in the output file (gac.txt) then it means it's not registered:

Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35, processorArchitecture=MSIL

To register it, find the file Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.dll on your computer (you might need to install some components to get it, you can search the Web to see what installers have it). Then run this:

gacutil -i Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.dll
