How do I insert references to use the ScriptEngine class?

Based on the question Compile string as code includes in my project the ScriptEngine class, however, it is not being found in the references:

using Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Scripting;
using Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Scripting.CSharp; //Nesta

Installing with NuGet Packages for Solution I searched for Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Scripting and installed it, but did not install the next ( Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Scripting.CSharp ) for incompatibility.

I can install the reference Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Scripting.CSharp by the console with the commands (in order in the console):

PM > Install-Package Microsoft.DiaSymReader.Native
PM > Install-Package Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Scripting.CSharp -Pre

But in this way ScriptEngine is not being found.

What do I do to use ScriptEngine ?

c# nuget

Apparently there has been a change in how new versions of the .NET Compiler Platform work with creating script engines to execute arbitrary code. See for example this post in StackOverflow .

As suggested in the answer, you can try to use the class CSharpScript.Create() instead of new ScriptEngine() .

If it is not the definitive solution for your code then it might be a search path.
