Nuget: script for removing a DLL reference in 'uninstall.ps1'

Question

Somewhere in the mists of time I found an example of a Nuget uninstall.ps1 script to remove a DLL reference that I've been blindly copying ever since. This is it:

param($installPath, $toolsPath, $package, $project)
$project.Object.References.Remove("Dll.Name");

But now when invoking a package uninstall I'm getting an error saying that Remove is not a method. What script should I be using to remove a DLL reference?

Answer 1

It does not look like References has a Remove method. You can use the following if you know the assembly name.

$project.Object.References.Item("System.Xml.Linq").Remove()
