Welcome! We prefer to keep this issue track just for bug reports. If you have a question or need help with something I'd ask that you self close this issue and have a read over https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/blob/master/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md it contains background information, details on where to ask your questions Gitter or StackOverflow) should be used.

If you're reporting a bug, you must complete the bug report template see https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/blob/master/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md#bug-report. Please make sure you provide enough detail that someone else can reproduce the issue you are experiencing.

It's also important to remember that CefSharp is just a wrapper around the Chromium Embedded Framework(CEF), a lot of questions people have aren't actually CefSharp specific, they're generic to CEF and for those CEF has it's own support forum at http://magpcss.org/ceforum/index.php and issue tracker at https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef

Issue tracker is for bug reports only, thank you!

If you have a question, ask it on Gitter, StackOverflow or use ceforum (for questions specific to CEF).

Also follow https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/blob/cefsharp/69/NuGet/Readme.txt#L12

and if your using VS2017 make sure your using the latest version (15.8.8 at time of writing), MS have been doing some tinkering lately in some of the recent versions.

If you require further assistance please use one of the options linked above.

how is this not a bug ? its saying that it doesn't exist? sounds like a bug to me. stop being lazy and pawning it off and fix the issue.
and as a matter of fact your "minimal" example also throws the same error.

stop being lazy and pawning it off and fix the issue.

@SolariceMedia The packages work as expected for older versions of visual studio, I've attempted to get this resolved with Microsoft and they're said the behaviour is now by design see dotnet/project-system#4158

If you migrate to the package reference Nuget implementation initial build works as expected. All you have to do with the older packages.config implementation is close and reopen the solution as listed in the post installation notes.

If you'd like to sponsor my time in overhauling the packages to change this then I'm happy to discuss that. As for lazy I've spent literally thousands of hours over almost 6 1/2 years supporting and maintaining this project. You've paid nothing, contributed nothing and here you are thanking me for my efforts with borderline abuse....thanks 👎
