Mvc: Asp.Net MVC 5 app not working after VS 15.2 update to 15.3

[alfeg]

After updating VS 15.2 to Vs 15.3 I were blocked with an issue.

Asp.net app suddenly report that it cannot load some assemblies

Could not load file or assembly 'System.Runtime, Version=4.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

If I build same project with 15.2 version - everything works perfectly

I've pushed project with repro: https://github.com/alfeg/vs15_3repro

Steps:

• Build project with VS 15.2.
  -- Ctrl+F5 on REPRO.UI.Headquarters web project.
  -- Should open page with Hello World
• Build same project with VS 15.3
  -- Ctrl+F5 on REPRO.UI.Headquarters web project.
  -- Could not load file or assembly ... message appear

I've try to change some binding redirects, but has no luck, and this breaks build with 15.2 studio.

Any idea how to resolve, or where I should report this issue?

I would report MVC 5 issues on http://github.com/aspnet/aspnetwebStack/. This repository is for MVC Core.

WIthout forgetting that if you really want to upgrade to ASP.NET MVC Core, there's always the possibility of migrating to the new stack!

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/migration/

If you try it out, please let us know!

In the midtime, I've moved the issue to the right repository and will follow up with you @alfeg.

Closing because the issue was moved to https://github.com/aspnet/AspNetWebStack/issues/57. Thanks!
