Using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.AspNetCoreCompat package in an ASP.NET MVC 4.6.1 application

[fabiano]

Hi,

I'm trying to install the Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.AspNetCoreCompat package in an ASP.NET MVC 4.6.1 application but I'm receiving the error:

Failed to add reference. The package 'Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.AspNetCoreCompat' tried to add a framework reference to 'System.Collections' which was not found in the GAC. This is possibly a bug in the package. Please contact the package owners for assistance.

How to replicate:

Create an ASP.NET MVC 4.6.1 application with Individual User Accounts
Try to install AspNet.Identity.CoreCompat package

I removed the System.Collections reference from the frameworkAssemblies property in the project.json file and was able to install the package.

This is a bug and should be fixed
