What do the $package and $project params contain in a NuGet install.ps1 script?

Question

I\'m writing my first install PowerShell script for a NuGet package. I\'m trying to copy a file from the lib folder into the tools folder of another Nu

Answer 1

In NuGet 2:

• $project => EnvDTE.Project - which is the Visual Studio object model for a project.
• $package => NuGet.IPackage - the NuGet package.

In NuGet 3:

• $project => EnvDTE.Project
• $package => ScriptPackage

Note that the $package in NuGet 3 has a fewer properties available so some PowerShell scripts included with existing NuGet packages will not work.
