Projects that were working fine before installing the Phone SDK are now raising the following error at runtime:
Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=4.5.0.0, Culture=neutral , PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Exception details:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json , Version=4.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
The following line entries are from the Global.asax.cs file.
Line 17: AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
Line 18:
Line 19: WebApiConfig.Register(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration);
Line 20: FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
Line 21: RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
The problem was resolved by re installing the Json.NET NuGet package.
I couldn't uninstall it because of other package dependencies, but the Online tab of NuGet didn't think the package was installed, so didn't object to re installing again.
