Installing Nuget gives "URI formats are not supported"

[validian]

When I try to install the GrovePi version 1.0.6 (or any of the previous versions) from the Nuget package manger I get the following error: "URI formats are not supported."

I have tried installing the packing for the Background Application (IoT) template as well as the Blank App (Universal Windows) template and both give the same error. When I try to install the Nuget package in a traditional console application it installs no problem.

I am running VS 2015 with Update 1, everything that the Windows IoT team says needs to be used to run an app on the Raspberry Pi 2.

Anyone else ran into this issue and found a way to fix it?

For now I just downloaded the package manually and extracted the dll and added it manually to my project.
