I'm getting below error in one of my ASP.NET Web API Project.

Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Rest.ClientRuntime, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

I've tried to redirect the assembly bindings like below which didn't work:

 <dependentAssembly>
    <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.Rest.ClientRuntime" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" />
    <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-2.0.0.0" newVersion="2.0.0.0" />
 </dependentAssembly>

Also, properties for given dll reflects the correct information:

I have checked the public key of the dll using "sn.exe" which is exactly same to what is showing in the error.

I have tried following other steps as well:

Cleaning up the project > building again
Restart Visual Studio
Restart Machine
Checking the bin folder for given dll (Yes, it exists!)

Nothing of the above has worked so far. Please share your thoughts if anybody has had the same issue ever.

I appreciate any help!

**Backup your project**. Run this command: `Install-Package Microsoft.Rest.ClientRuntime -Version 2.3.2` – Ave Apr 13 '17 at 10:21

@vanloc: didn't work... same error – Sunny Sharma Apr 13 '17 at 10:31
Try to clean Debug and Release folders in your solution. Then remove and add `Rest.ClientRuntime` again. – Ave Apr 13 '17 at 10:33
You tried to check all method in this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4469929/could-not-load-file-or-assembly-or-one-of-its-dependencies. Hope it help. Before I had same your issues. I only update my .dll to the latest version. Or change option: `Copy Local` from `True` to `False`. – Ave Apr 13 '17 at 10:37
@vanloc: reinstallation didn't work... let me check the link you're referring – Sunny Sharma Apr 13 '17 at 10:39
Have you checked to see it the project has lost the reference to the DLL? See this question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/43138638/warning-the-referenced-component-nuget-core-could-not-be-found/43140443#43140443 – Alex Apr 13 '17 at 10:49
@vanloc: done true/false... didn't work – Sunny Sharma Apr 13 '17 at 11:10
