Visual Studio Designer has problem accessing newly installed extensions

Today, I tried to add a reference to the Callisto extension via Nuget in Visual Studio.  Nuget downloaded the latest version and without adding any of the Callisto controls in my project, the designer crashed. The error was: "access denied C:Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs...\Extension SDKs" This is where Nuget placed the .dll.

I could get the designer to work initially by running VS as administrator but after building and running the app, the designer then did not render any controls.

I have another project that was started months ago using the Callisto extension and noticed that this .dll lives in the project's package folder (under Documents).  This works fine.  

How do you get VS to access the SDK extensions folder without running as administrator

OR

How do you get Nuget to install the extensions in a folder that is accessible to VS without running as an administrator? 

Thanks.
