How can I install an older version of a package via NuGet?

Question

I want to install an older version of a package (Newtonsoft.Json). But NuGet rolls back:

PM> Install-Package Newtonsoft.Json -Version 4.0.5

Answer 1

Now, it's very much simplified in Visual Studio 2015 and later. You can do downgrade / upgrade within the User interface itself, without executing commands in the Package Manager Console.

1. Right click on your project and *go to Manage NuGet Packages.

2. Look at the below image.

   • Select your Package and Choose the Version, which you wanted to install.

Very very simple, isn't it? :)
