Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Helpers, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral

Hi Guys,

I've just deployed an ASP.NET MVC 3 WAP to the root directory of my hosting account and got the following error when i try to navigate to the index page:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Configuration Error

Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

I'm an not sure that this is something I can fix by changing configurations. If this is something I should be able to fix could you please point me in the right direction? I would like to use this assembly if possible.

Thanks in advance for your support.

 

I commented out the System.Web.Helpers assembly from web.config to see if the page would still load but got the same error but for the System.Web.Mvc assembly instead. Can discountasp.net host ASP.NET MVC 3 applications?

 

Your application is looking for system.helpers.dll which you will need to deploy to the bin folder since we don't have it installed in server's GAC

See this link for detailed info for all necessary binary files and step to deploy it
