Nuget 打包并安装第三方依赖，不在 bin 文件夹中

Question

I am trying to create a NuGet package that can contain and deploy third party dependencies, these are dll's and executables that my program needs to run. There are a few caveats to this issues though.

1. When installing the package the dlls need to be in one directory above the bin folder, I can already make them install into the bin folder thats not what I need . (This makes this question different than others I have found)
2. I would prefer using the packing via the.csproj file instead of the.nuspec if possible.

If I can't place them one level up I could probably make this work installing them into a folder within the bin folder. These requirements are a little weird but I'm a bound by work that has already been done and don't have power to change it.

A small example of one of the many things I have tried:

    <Content Include="x86\SQLite.Interop.dll">
        <buildAction>Embedded Resource</buildAction>
        <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory>
        <copyToOutput>true</copyToOutput>
        <PackagePath>lib</PackagePath>
        <PackageOutputPath>..\SQLite</PackageOutputPath>
        <Pack>true</Pack>
    </Content>

Use this:

<ItemGroup>
 <Content Include="x86\SQLite.Interop.dll">
        <buildAction>Embedded Resource</buildAction>
        <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory>
        <copyToOutput>true</copyToOutput>
        <PackagePath>lib\$(targetframework)</PackagePath>        
        <Pack>true</Pack>
   </Content>
 </ItemGroup>
 <PropertyGroup>
    <PackageOutputPath>..\SQLite</PackageOutputPath>
 </PropertyGroup>

Then , re-pack your project. Before you install this new version, please delete all old nuget caches under C:\Users\xxx\.nuget\packages , then reinstall the new version. After that, re-build your main project and then you will get what you want.

Update

Try to pack the files into content node:

<ItemGroup>
     <Content Include="x86\SQLite.Interop.dll">
            <buildAction>Embedded Resource</buildAction>
            <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory>
            <PackageCopyToOutput>true</PackageCopyToOutput>
       </Content>
</ItemGroup>

Then , right-click on the Project--> Pack . And you should not use any other nuspec file to pack with.
