Could not load file or assembly 'WebMatrix.Data`

I updated MVC4 to MVC5. When you run the application I got an error that I don't have WebMatrix.Data. I installed it PM> Install-Package WebMatrix.Data. Now when you start getting in the browser:

Could not load file or assembly 'WebMatrix.Data, Version = 3.0.0.0, Culture = neutral, PublicKeyToken = 31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. Located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

Anyone know how to fix this?

Installing MVC 4 (not the runtime but the full version) fixed it for me.

from your package manager console I can see that your project has Successfully added 'WebMatrix.Data 2.0.30506.0' to xxx.`

So get your web.config in sync with WebMatrix.Data 2.0.30506.0

This is what worked for me. Took weeks to figure it out.

Make sure your target framework to what you want it to be (I had 4.6.1).

Go into: Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Console and do the following commands.

Uninstall-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebHelpers
Uninstall-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages.OAuth
Uninstall-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages.WebData
Uninstall-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages.Data

Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages.Data
Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages.WebData
Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages.OAuth
Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebHelpers

Hope this helps anyone that tried the other solutions with no luck.

This is actually a legacy library. You should instead install Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages.Data if you are upgrading from MVC 4 to 5.
