Firstly, I do not want to use Visual Studio at all when dealing with the certain .nupkg files.
I know there is a tool called NuGet Package Explorer and this can export nupkg files to a certain file location using a gui, but I'm looking to setup a MSBuild task to run and unpack about 50 .nupkg files, using the command line.
My question is, is there a tool you can use via the command line which will unpack .nupkg files to a specified file location?

NuPKG files are just zip files, so anything that can process a zip file should be able to process a nupkg file, i.e, 7zip.
You can also use the NuGet command line, by specifying a local host as part of an install. For example if your package is stored in the current directory
nuget install MyPackage -Source %cd% -OutputDirectory packages
will unpack it into the target directory.
Rename it to .zip, then extract it.
did the same thing like this:
clear
cd PACKAGE_DIRECTORY
function Expand-ZIPFile($file, $destination)
{
$shell = New-Object -ComObject Shell.Application
$zip = $shell.NameSpace($file)
foreach($item in $zip.items())
{
$shell.Namespace($destination).copyhere($item)
}
}
Dir *.nupkg | rename-item -newname { $_.name -replace ".nupkg",".zip" }
Expand-ZIPFile "Package.1.0.0.zip" “DESTINATION_PATH”
With PowerShell 5.1 (PackageManagement module)
Install-Package -Name MyPackage -Source (Get-Location).Path -Destination C:\outputdirectory
This worked for me:
Rename-Item -Path A_Package.nupkg -NewName A_Package.zip
Expand-Archive -Path A_Package.zip -DestinationPath C:\Reference
I've expanded Zamarin.Essentials -version 1.6.1 with 7-zip and nuget package manager is not recognizing this package and I have source set to all. I've tried just my global package source alone too.
Also I've noticed package manager downloads multiple versions to same folder, was wondering if it's ok to put a version folder in a package and copy the package end into it?
