General Stuff

Clear all \bin \obj

Be careful were you run this, you could kill your OS install if you ran it somewhere like system32.

    Get-ChildItem .\ -include bin,obj -Recurse | foreach ($_) { remove-item $_.fullname -Force -Recurse }

Extract the Contents of an *.msi File

msiexec /a SSCERuntime-ENU-x64.msi

Get Strong Name From DLL File

"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.8 Tools\sn.exe" -Tp (or just T for token) "D:\Code\samplesort-xp\SampleSort\SampleSort.Code.ScratchPad\bin\Debug\net6.0\SampleSort.Code.ScratchPad.dll"

After running any of these commands nuget could (read most likely will) throw a wobbly and complain about missing packages. If this does occur you can use the following command and options to get back to a working solution.

Firstly, do a safe reinstall of packages. The reinstall command is actually quite destructive in some instances without the -safe flag it will reinstall, but it will reinstall the very latest version of any package which could also introduce compatibility issues. So, run this:

Update-Package -Reinstall -Safe

If this is still an issue you can try executing “Clean Solution” then run the “Rebuild” option. If this still produces issues. Go to Tools -> Options -> Nuget Package Manager -> Clear All Nuget Cache(s). Restart VS (just to be safe) and then run another clean and rebuild.

This *should* fix things. If it doesn’t, it’s off the StackOverflow for you … sorry 🙂
