    Installing Specfic Package Version (Umbraco) via Nuget

    I'm trying to install a specific version of a nuget package in to particular project in my soulution using this command:

    install-package UmbracoCms -version 6.2.4 -project Pws.Site.Web
    

    I keep getting this error:

    Install-Package : Already referencing a newer version of 'Newtonsoft.Json'.
    At line:1 char:16
    + install-package <<<<  UmbracoCms -version 6.2.4 -project Pws.Site.Web
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Install-Package], InvalidOperationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NuGetCmdletUnhandledException,NuGet.PowerShell.Commands.InstallPackageCommand
    

    The project has no reference to Newtonsoft.Json so I am confused. I have also tried to run this command first:

    Uninstall-Package Newtonsoft.Json -Force -project Pws.Site.Web
    

    but then I get this error:

    Uninstall-Package : Unable to find package 'Newtonsoft.Json' in 'PWS.Site.Web'.
    At line:1 char:18
    + Uninstall-Package <<<<  Newtonsoft.Json -Force -project Pws.Site.Web
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Uninstall-Package], InvalidOperationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NuGetCmdletUnhandledException,NuGet.PowerShell.Commands.UninstallPackageCommand
    

    Any ideas on this? - Why can't we select what version of a package we want via the Nuget Dialog window! (If you can do that please let me know how)

    Thanks in Advance! Ayo

    Hi Ayo,

    Do you have the Newtonsoft.Json package installed in any other project? Also, I think the project name is case sensitive when using via the command line tool. Do your project names match?

    Thanks, Dan.

    It turns out that the project type I was trying to install umbraco in to was the wrong one.

    I had a blank ASP.net Web Application.

    I deleted the project then created a blank MVC project.... and hey presto it works.

    Thanks Dan.

    Hope this helps someone else one day.
