Error - Azure 2.0 installation via Web Installer - You have a newer version of NuGet installed that's incompatible with ASP.NET MVC 3 Tools Update

When

During installing Windows Azure SDK and Tools 2.0 for VS 2010 through Web Platform Installer 4.5. Also during installing some more products via Web Platform Installer.

Full Error

"You have a newer version of NuGet installed that's incompatible with ASP.NET MVC 3 Tools Update. To continue installing this product, please refer to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=266638."

If we click on the link it will redirect to ASP.Net/MVC site. No idea why there is a problem with nuget version and ASP.Net MVC 3 when installing Azure

Machine configuration / Environment

Windows 7 64bit
Visual Studio 2010 with Nuget installed via VS Extension manager.
Microsoft Web Platform Installer 4.5

Microsoft Status 

Resolved & Closed. There is a work around mentioned in MSFT connect which instructs to uninstall the nuget and install again.

My status

Some people confirmed that they are able to. But still it exists in my environment, even if I uninstall Nuget and try using Web Platform installer.

My resolution / workaround

Without using, Web platform installer directly install by downloading full installer from here.This is applicable to all the products which shows error in Web Platform Installer.
