Hi,

Never tried. It's best to tell which problem happens so that someone that would try could be sure to run into the same issue if any (or it could trigger something allowing to help right away).

Edit: gave his a quick try and the package installation seems fine (you mean it works in "web application projects" and fails in "web site projects") ?

Works fine here.

You have the /langversion:14 options in your web.config file ? I have something such as :

    <system.codedom>
        <compilers>
            <compiler language="c#;cs;csharp" extension=".cs"
                type="Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform.CSharpCodeProvider, Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform, Version=2.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"
                warningLevel="4" compilerOptions="/langversion:6 /nowarn:1659;1699;1701"/>
            <compiler language="vb;vbs;visualbasic;vbscript" extension=".vb"
                type="Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform.VBCodeProvider, Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform, Version=2.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"
                warningLevel="4" compilerOptions="/langversion:14 /nowarn:41008 /define:_MYTYPE=\&quot;Web\&quot; /optionInfer+"/>
        </compilers>
    </system.codedom>
