Hi,
I am new to Pulumi, so this might be a total newbie mistake, but I have a problem getting the NuGet-packages installed. I am using Azure and C#.

The project created with "pulumi new" seems to have some problems with the packages. Both the Pulumi and the Pulumi.Azure have this problem.

This looks weird… Could you share your `csproj` file? You should only have one reference there like:
```&lt;ItemGroup&gt;
    &lt;PackageReference Include="Pulumi.Azure" Version="1.14.0-preview" /&gt;
  &lt;/ItemGroup&gt;```

```&lt;Project Sdk="<http://Microsoft.NET|Microsoft.NET>.Sdk"&gt;

  &lt;PropertyGroup&gt;
    &lt;OutputType&gt;Exe&lt;/OutputType&gt;
    &lt;TargetFramework&gt;netcoreapp3.1&lt;/TargetFramework&gt;
    &lt;Nullable&gt;enable&lt;/Nullable&gt;
  &lt;/PropertyGroup&gt;

  &lt;ItemGroup&gt;
    &lt;PackageReference Include="Pulumi.Azure" Version="1.14.0-preview" /&gt;
  &lt;/ItemGroup&gt;

&lt;/Project&gt;```

However this gives a compile error of "Cycle detected". So I removed it earlier and tried to add it back through VS2019, which was impossible.

Hmm... It seems to work when creating a new project. I will compare them and see if I can find my error.

All files seem identical, so I have no idea what caused this. It threw a Cycle error as soon as I used "pulumi new" and the second time it did not.

One project works, the other does not. But I have a compiling project, so I am happy.

What if you delete bin/obj files in the broken project and rebuild?

That didn't work, but I found the error. If the project you are creating is also called "Pulumi" then you get the Cycle Error.

It can’t understand the difference between the two

Yup, admittedly is was a silly name, I was just going through the "Getting started" and testing things out.

Sorry for the inconvenience, saw the error from NuGet and thought it was the cause.

We could actually prevent this…. would you please create an issue at <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi> and describe your situation?

Of course. I have created this:

Thank you for your help :slightly_smiling_face:
