Hi,

When you open a devforce 2012 solution (using NUGET) on a computer where devforce 2012 has never been installed you can't compile if you update the model. The package have correctly been restored but it say devforce isn't installed.
To be able to install it, I had to remove the server package off the web projet and readd it.

Is there another way to do it ? Like when you restore the package, if it see devforce isn't installed then it prompt the user to install it ?

DevForce will be installed by the "DevForce Client" package through its init.ps1 script.  I believe what you're seeing is due to a NuGet problem which requires that the Package Manager Console be open for the init script to run when opening a solution.  See http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/762468 - http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/762468  for a bug we filed. 
 
The workaround now is to open the solution with the Package Manager Console already open, or as you tried, re-install the package.  We also have a standalone DevForce installer which will install the license and other DevForce tools.  You can find it on our product download page.
