Fake not installed by nuget

I have the following build script:

@echo off
cls
if not exist "%~dp0\src\packages\FAKE\tools\Fake.exe" "%~dp0\src\.nuget\NuGet.exe" "Install" "FAKE" "-OutputDirectory"       "%~dp0\src\packages" "-ExcludeVersion"
"%~dp0\src\packages\FAKE\tools\Fake.exe" %~dp0\src\build.fsx

and the following yml setup:

before_build:
  - before_build.cmd

build_script:
   - nuget restore src\GenPres.sln

• build.cmd

This was working fine, until I upgraded Fake. Now what happens is that Fake gets installed by the yml directive nuget restore ... But then when I want to get Fake in the path without the version, nuget doesn't do this, because Fake has already been installed (in the path with the version extension). I don't get it why this happens now and not before? The whole packages dir was never in my repos.

   What do you mean by "upgraded Fake" - updated it in your repo?

   Yes, using an updated version of Fake. Shouldn't make a difference. The build script wasn't touched.

   The behaviour looks quite normal. Maybe you upgraded nuget.exe in your .nuget folder?...

   I'd remove FAKE from packages.config, so it's not installed with nuget restore in YAML.

   What I did was:
   1. Migrate to automatic restore in VS instead of the old enabled package restore option
   2. Indeed removed Fake from my installed packages, and only let Fake be restored by the command line script

   And now it all seems to be working again.

   One question, though, do I need to add nuget to my repository or do you have nuget in the PATH variable, it looks like it is because in yaml file you don't need to specify a path.

   It's in the PATH already.
