Glad to see you jumping on 0.64! Sorry it didn't go smoothly.
Looks like you ran the dependencies script, which would otherwise be the first thing to check here.

1. There should be additional logging in addition to that error statement. Can you include more of the run-windows --logging log? That'll give us more info (you can collapse with <details></details> in the issue comment.
2. Can you try building in Visual Studio? It will complain if there's a workload missing.

Hi @chrisglein. Maybe I can help a bit here, I'm getting the same issue NuGet.targets(131,5): error MSB4181 on one of my machine (but not on the other).

I did the same steps @rendomnet wrote in the description (and documented at https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/docs/getting-started).

When running npx react-native run-windows --logging I get the following (it's a HUGE log):

yarn run v1.22.5
$ react-native run-windows --logging

Oh, choco install nuget.commandline (in an elevated powershell prompt) did the trick for me!
I'm not sure why that was necessary but that works. Still, I do not have nuget.exe on my other machine but it can build without issues.

@rendomnet could you try to do the same and see if that fixes your issue?

Edit: note that I'm not sure at all if that's a good or even correct solution, just something that I noticed when trying to make my project build.

Edit 2: maybe an important point, after installing nuget I had to delete then recreate the project from scratch to be able to build it.

[chrisglein]

@rendomnet Have you tried the workaround above?
Do you have a nuget.config? Alternatively the command nuget sources can be run before you restore.

[softwarehangar7]

I did try the workaround above choco install nuget.commandline, and it didn't work
