Problems with SignalR using NuGet

Question

I am having a problem setting up a simple test project for SignalR.

I installed SignalR in VS WD Express 2010 using NuGet, but when I try to run my site I get the following Asp.Net error page. (It looks like all assemblies are added correctly by NuGet)

Anyone seen this before?

Could not load type 'SignalR.PersistentConnection' from assembly 'SignalR

[TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'SignalR.PersistentConnection' from assembly 'SignalR, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.]

The name of your project is SignalR, change it.
