  AFAIK there is no NuGet for this.

  How I did it for LINQPad 8 x86/x64 .NET 9

  Ran Developer Command Prompt for VS.

  Copied file c:\windows\system32\wshom.ocx somewhere I have write access to.

  Ran tlbimp for that file and got IWshRuntimeLibrary.dll

  tlbimp wshom.ocx
  

  Output:

  Microsoft (R) .NET Framework Type Library to Assembly Converter 4.8.3928.0
  Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.
  
  TlbImp : warning TI3002 : Importing a type library into a platform agnostic assembly.  This can cause errors if the type library is not truly platform agnostic.
  TlbImp : Type library imported to IWshRuntimeLibrary.dll
  

  IWshRuntimeLibrary.dll:

  // IWshRuntimeLibrary, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null
  // Global type: <Module>
  // Architecture: AnyCPU (64-bit preferred)
  // Runtime: v4.0.30319
  // Hash algorithm: SHA1
  

  

  Created new script:

  var sh = new IWshRuntimeLibrary.WshShell(); // Use WshShell instead of WshShellClass!
  sh.CurrentDirectory.Dump();
  

  Pressed F4 > Additional References > Add / Browse...

  

  Ran test script.

  You might also need to pay attention to bitness. Also you might have to specify STAThread attribute for Main.
