'Nuget add packages gives access denied errors
When I add Nuget packages via the Visual Studio 2015 GUI some packages don't install with the following error
Access to the path 'Microsoft.DotNet.InternalAbstractions.dll' is denied.
I tried running Visual Studio 2015 as Administrator and uninstalling the packages and adding them again but I still get the same error

I close my Visual Studio.. and start it again as an administrator... It Worked.
Solution 3:[3]
This happened to me because I have cleared the NuGet cache.
I did the oldest trick in the book. I restarted my PC and then I was able to restore packages
