Parameter count mismatch on startup

Question

I'm getting a parameter count mismatch except right after the Startup.cs code has finished executing. If fails on exit of the Startup class. But I can't figure out where the code goes next. It doesnt go to my controller.

 public partial class Startup
    {
        public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
        {
            var container = SimpleInjectorInitializer.Initialize(app);
            ConfigureAuth(app, container);
        }
    }

Startup.Auth

public partial class Startup
    {
        // For more information on configuring authentication, please visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=301864
        public void ConfigureAuth(IAppBuilder app, Container container)
        {
            app.CreatePerOwinContext<ApplicationSignInManager>(ApplicationSignInManager.Create);
            app.CreatePerOwinContext(() => container.GetInstance<ApplicationUserManager>());
            app.UseCookieAuthentication(new CookieAuthenticationOptions
            {
                AuthenticationType = DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie,
                LoginPath = new PathString("/Account/Login"),
                Provider = new CookieAuthenticationProvider
                {
                    OnValidateIdentity = SecurityStampValidator.OnValidateIdentity<ApplicationUserManager, ApplicationUser>(
                        validateInterval: TimeSpan.FromMinutes(30),
                        regenerateIdentity: (manager, user) => user.GenerateUserIdentityAsync(manager))
                }
            });
            app.UseExternalSignInCookie(DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ExternalCookie);
            app.UseTwoFactorSignInCookie(DefaultAuthenticationTypes.TwoFactorCookie, TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5));
            app.UseTwoFactorRememberBrowserCookie(DefaultAuthenticationTypes.TwoFactorRememberBrowserCookie);
        }
    }

I've just finished registering my ASP.NET.Identity managers and then I receive this error.

Anyone know why?

In simple injector remove the WebActivator Assembly

namespace WebApplication1.App_Start
{
    using System.Reflection;
    using System.Web.Mvc;

    using SimpleInjector;
    using SimpleInjector.Extensions;
    using SimpleInjector.Integration.Web;
    using SimpleInjector.Integration.Web.Mvc;
    using Owin;
    using Models;
    using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity;
    using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework;
    using Microsoft.Owin.Security.DataProtection;
    using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.Owin;
    using Microsoft.Owin.Security;
    using SimpleInjector.Advanced;
    using Microsoft.Owin;
    using System.Web;
    using System.Collections.Generic;

    public static class SimpleInjectorInitializer
    {
    }

It wants to look like the above code
