I am using Umbraco V 7.6.3, and I am having problems installing packages when running the application locally on one of my machines. The package doesn't matter, as I've tried with multiple packages. I have tried this with multiple machines, and it has worked on some, but it does not work on my main development machine.
When I attempt to install a package, either through the manager or locally using a zip, it goes to the package page, and then immediately reloads the main package install page. See video.
I have checked the permissions, and ensured that the user I am running Visual Studio under has Read/Write, Modify, etc. permissions for the entire project folder.
Does anyone have ideas why this might be occurring?
I considered that, but the particular package I am trying to install (and it doesn't seem to matter which one I try to install) says that it is 100% compatible with 7.6.x on its Umbraco package page. And again, I have installed it on the same exact project running on a different development PC, as well as on a development server, without issue. This leads me to believe it is some configuration with this project running on this particular PC.
It is weird that the package information page isn't even trying to do anything to your system -- there's another Install Package button after that, which is where you'd imagine permissions problems or whatever to show up.
I recently ran into the same issue. Every package installation when running the site locally on iis express launched through VS caused an immediate page reload.
I finally could fix it by disabling VS Browser Link feature which was causing those unexpected reloads.
I didn't investigate further how and why this happens tho.
Cannot Install Packages Running Locally
Greetings,
I am using Umbraco V 7.6.3, and I am having problems installing packages when running the application locally on one of my machines. The package doesn't matter, as I've tried with multiple packages. I have tried this with multiple machines, and it has worked on some, but it does not work on my main development machine.

Thanks,

Hey
I had the same a while ago - possibly it is the package isn't compatible (or marked as compatible) with 7.6.3 ?
Just a thought.

Hi Jeff,
Is there anything in the UmbracoTraceLog?
I sometimes struggle for a long time with an issue, only to remember about the log and find there's a handy stack trace in there or something!

Hey Paul,
Thanks for the reply. When I check logs, the only messages I get in relation to the package install event are:
I do not get any errors in the log that would help diagnose the problem, unfortunately.

Hi Jeff,
What a shame the logs don't have anything of use.
It is weird that the package information page isn't even trying to do anything to your system -- there's another Install Package button after that, which is where you'd imagine permissions problems or whatever to show up.
Out of ideas I'm afraid :-( .

Works! Have been struggeling with the same problem for hours - disabling VS Browser Link ended the unexpected reloads, thanks :-)
