I simply copied all of the Microsoft.* assemblies from here into the bin directory of the web application that I was hosting in Web Matrix… and bam, no more error 🙂 Nice solution? No… /a/ solution? yes! 🙂

So now that I have the assemblies, I can at least fix the problem temporarily. This tells me that WebMatrix has a new version of the assemblies that it’s using… so where are they? Well, turns out they live within the WebMatrix installation folder (program files (x86)\Microsoft Web Matrix).

I did some checking around, and found in the directory of WebMatrix, it’s /config directory had an application configuration file with a binding redirect from 7.0.0.0 to 7.9.* (or something to that nature). I kept getting this error when using the new WebMatrix platform to host my web applications.
