NuGet: Update to an older version of a package
How to downgrade a NuGet package when Update-Package refuses to install an older version by uninstalling the current package and explicitly installing the required previous version.
Problem
I must go back to an older package version (from 1.1.0.0 to 1.0.0.0) but the Package Manager Console does not allow this.
With the command
Update-Package EsriDE.Commons.System.Utils -Version 1.0.0.0
I got the error:
Update-Package : Already referencing a newer version of 'EsriDE.Commons.System.Utils'.
Solution
Don’t worry. You could uninstall the package
Uninstall-Package EsriDE.Commons.System.Utils -Version 1.1.0.0
and install the older one instead.
Install-Package EsriDE.Commons.System.Utils -Version 1.0.0.0
