I just downloaded and installed Xamarin and selected the ASP.NET MVC template. I haven't touched anything. When I build the solution I get the following error:

Could not add packages. "The specified task executable "Csc.exe" could not be run. Access is denied (MSB6003)".

This is at the end of messages displayed on the Package Console:

Added file 'packages.config'. An exception was thrown while dispatching a method call in the UI thread.

I'm running Windows 8.1 and Visual Studio Community 2015.

Any ideas?

Try running visual studio as administrator? – Brad C Aug 25 '15 at 23:08
Have you tried turning it off and on again? – Eraph Aug 25 '15 at 23:28
