I get this error when I try to install EntityFramework through VS Package Manager Console and then I can't run the command enable-migrations. Any help is appreciated.

What is the version of you Visual Studio and NuGet? What is your nuget command line to install that package?

If this errors out, you'll need to ensure you have the Package Management folder a folder inside of your $env:PSModulePath. Here's a quick way to look through each of the folders for the Package Management folder：

$env:psmodulepath.Split(';') | foreach {gci $_ -filter '*packagemanagement*'}

If nothing comes back, you don't even have the Package Management module folder anywhere where it can be auto-imported by PowerShell.

If that's the case, I'd recommend to reinstall PowerShell v5 RTM.

If above not help you, please try to re-install NuGet Package Manager or Visual Studio.

@MigrationUser 1, If you do not want to reinstall the Visual Studio, you can try to reinstall the NuGet Package Manager or repair Visual Studio to check if it works fine.
