Umbraco 7: Could not load type Umbraco.Web.UmbracoApplication

  1. Created an ASP.NET empty web application in Visual Studio
  2. Installed Umbraco 7.1.5 via NuGet Package Manager
  3. When asked to overwrite the web.config file, typed Y(Yes)
  4. Built the project
  5. F5

When I run the project I get the following error in Chrome:

Could not load type Umbraco.Web.UmbracoApplication

How can I solve this problem and get to the installation page?
