Adding Account NuGet Feed in Build Process

I am going to shift my question--on further research (and on finding this page: https://www.appveyor.com/docs/nuget/#configuring-external-private-nuget-feed-for-your-builds) I now understand that I need to add the source through the appveyor.yml file.

I have followed the instructions on that page, but when I run `dotnet restore` I get a 401 auth error across the board that eventually dies in an error.

Any thoughts appreciated.

---------
ORIGINAL QUESTION, NO LONGER VALID:
[Just this week we started using the NuGet Account Feed to store a couple of DLLs we need to reference in our project. The DLLs we are uploading to our Appveyor NuGet are of a lower version than the version found through the global NuGet system.

Everything works fine locally on Visual Studio because we set the Appveyor NuGet Source in our VS system and set the priority above the global NuGet system.

However, in Appveyor, I am not able to get the build to read from the account NuGet feed--it automatically finds the higher version (incorrect) DLL from the global feed and installs it.

How can I tell the Appveyor Build process (in appveyor.yml) what NuGet feeds to use and in what order?]

Thanks!

   This updated setting is needed if you are going to use external nuget feed, meaning nuget feed from different account. For your case
   

   nuget:
     account_feed: true
   

   should work. Could you please revert to this and run nuget sources command and share output with us.

   OK, I gave that a try (I didn't think about running nuget sources in my build scripts). It also proves my issue:

   nuget sources
   Registered Sources:
     1.  nuget.org [Enabled]
         https://www.nuget.org/api/v2
     2.  AppVeyorAccountFeed [Enabled]
         https://ci.appveyor.com/nuget/wvh-shanee-9q3n3q50144t
     3.  Microsoft Visual Studio Offline Packages [Enabled]
         C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\NuGetPackages\
   dotnet --version
   

   As you can see, the NuGet V2 feed is used before the appveyor account feed. Since my Appveyor account feed contains a DLL of version 4.0.0 and the V2 contains a 4.0.6 it is defaulting to the higher version (which my app can't use).

   Alright, I've had tunnel vision on this and been going about it all wrong. We are just going to push our package up with a different package name so the version numbers don't conflict. I've been too close to the problem.

   Thanks for the assistance!
