Failed to install adding 'EnvDTE'

[fleed]

I'm getting the following error when running a cake script:

Installing addins...
Found package 'EnvDTE 8.0.2' in 'G:/git/resource-service/tools/Addins'.

This is the output using the Diagnostic verbosity

I have the following adding and tools:

#addin "nuget:?package=Cake.Docker&version=0.10.0"
#tool "nuget:?package=GitVersion.CommandLine&version=4.0.0"

#tool "nuget:?package=Mono.TextTransform&version=1.0.0"
#addin nuget:?package=EnvDTE&version=8.0.2

I'm using Cake 0.34.1

I'm not able to reproduce the issue, first I thought it was a dependency issue but it still installed for me.

Script I tried:

#addin "nuget:?package=Cake.Docker&version=0.10.0"
#tool "nuget:?package=GitVersion.CommandLine&version=4.0.0"

#tool "nuget:?package=Mono.TextTransform&version=1.0.0"
#addin "nuget:?package=stdole&version=7.0.3303"
#addin "nuget:?package=EnvDTE&version=8.0.2"


 Information(typeof(EnvDTE.DTE));

That said what are you trying to do with EnvDTE in your Cake script? Might be wrong but my understanding is that it's only supposed to be used within Visual Studio for automating it.

Does what your trying to achieve work in i.e. an simple console application? If so could you create a minimal gist and we can see if we can assist why it works in console application but not in cake.

@devlead actually I need to download the binaries before running a T4 transformation task. I need to reference a dll from a template, and Cake looked the easiest way to locally deploy the package.
I will test it again and let you know.
