Downgrade NuGet package and dependecies in multiple projects

Introduction

Today I had a problem with a NuGet package which was updated and it made my solution stop working for some weird compatibility problems. I decide to downgrade the package to revert the package to its original version but the Package Manager Console didn't help.


Researching in "The Internet" I found Marcelo Volmaro's blog which contains a post about how to fix this issue. He uses some power shell command through the Package Manager console to fix it. I recommend to go his blog (see references) and take a look.

Here is my script which I used to revert my SimpleInjector from version 3 to version 2.8.3. I've made some adjustments to get it working. This particular nuget package comes with other dependencies you have to downgrade too, that's why my script is a bit longer compared with Marcelo's, although, I think the script can be improved.
