paket install with Silverlight project: This operation would create an incorrectly structured document.

[PapaMufflon]

Description

Even though I have redirects: off in my paket.dependencies, paket install tries to applyBindingRedirects for my Silverlight project. As we have a custom made app.config file with a custom root namespace, Linq.tryGetElement will return None for the <configuration /> element, because our custom root namespace is not considered. But I think this is just a follow-up error of the ignoring of the redirects: off switch.

Repro steps

Do paket install with attached solution SilverlightApplication4.zip --> This operation would create an incorrectly structured document.

Expected behavior

paket install runs successfully.

Actual behavior

paket install fails with This operation would create an incorrectly structured document.

Is this still happening?

I'm getting this error when trying to convert a large workspace from Nuget to Paket.
I would love to know which file is causing the error, but it seems to be buried...

The last line of the log reads: Project (filepath.csproj) changed

Paket failed with
-> InvalidOperationException: This operation would create an incorrectly structured document.

Any namespace on the root element triggers this error. Am working on a PR for this.

paket.references is empty (but created during convert-from-nuget)
Paket 5.122.0 gives me that error message on this project file:
