I'm running a local NuGetServer v2.11.3.0 and I'm trying to install custom packages that I have created. I ran into an issue when I try to install the package and I get the following error. 

Failed to add reference to 'mycustomdll'.

I don't understand why the file I'm trying to install is having an issue referencing itself.

When I created the spec file for this package, I name the ID, the same as the dll name. This wasn't working so I tried to change the Id to another value and then the package installed.

Is there some rule where the package name can't be the name as the dll name?

The Nuget Folder in my personal Appdata folder had some weird references. I deleted these files and everything started working correctly.
