ASP.NET web forms throws MVC dependency error at runtime - asp.net

I have a tiny ASP.NET web app that runs fine on windows 7 but fails to run on Windows 2008 R2 with this error. I can't get around why I'm seeing MVC dependency error.
Using .NET 4/VS 2010.
Exception information:

This is most likely caused by sub application config file inheritance. The parent config file has a reference to a library that the sub application doesn't have.
Try to insert this line under system.web --> compilation --> assemblies
<remove assembly="System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/>

Are you deploying System.Web.Mvc with your site, or, are you relying on GAC'd copy on your dev machine? You can follow this blog post to bin deploy mvc3 to a server, or you can install mvc3 on the target server using the web platform installer.
If MVC3 is already installed, and you you need to see more details about binding errors, you can enable the fusion log on the target machine.

Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms' despite no references

I've encountered this error message in my ASP.NET projects, but this latest instance really baffles me because nowhere in my project can I find any references to ReportViewer. Looking for any suggestions on how to figure out where this is coming from. Below is the stack trace info:

Many of the Asp.Net controls require support from report viewer library to render the output. So, Try to install the package Microsoft Report Viewer Redistributable and then try to compile the solution. You might have removed this in your installation process or later inadvertently.
You could also try to go and check if you have the [Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms] and related assemblies listed in the GAC [C:\Windows\assembly] folder. If not it is not found there , then it is a clear indication that the implicit dependencies are not available in your workstation.
While I was never able to determine why I was getting the error described above, I discovered a workaround by copying a bunch of assemblies into the project's \bin folder from one of my other working applications on this server. These assemblies included:
Microsoft.ReportViewer.*
Microsoft.AI.Web
Microsoft.ApplicationInsights
Microsoft.AspNet.*
... and several others. It's still troubling me why this was even necessary since the code worked fine on not only my dev machine, but another test web server to which I first deployed it. If my project has no verifiable references to these things, yet still depends on them, then I would expect the publish tool should ensure that these dependencies are being deployed along with the rest of my code.

Failed to complete setup of assembly (FileLoadException)

I'm have a tough time getting to the bottom of this issue. My ASP.NET project had a Nuget package dependency on Newtonsoft.Json 10.0.3 as well as a project reference to a class library project in the same solution. The ASP.NET project also has the following binding redirect in the web.config file.
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Newtonsoft.Json" culture="neutral" publicKeyToken="30ad4fe6b2a6aeed" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-10.0.0.0" newVersion="10.0.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
The referenced class library project in the solution then took a new dependency on Newtonsoft.Json 6.0.8 and I started getting the error below when running the ASP.NET project.

Changing the binding redirect in the web.config file to the following fixes the issue.
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Newtonsoft.Json" culture="neutral" publicKeyToken="30ad4fe6b2a6aeed" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-10.0.0.0" newVersion="6.0.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
Forcing the runtime version to 6.0.0.0 does not seem ideal, however, as other projects in the solution depend on 10.0.3 as well. Note that updating the class library in question to 10.0.3 does not fix the issue either. Only changing the binding redirect.
Any ideas?
Why does the class library reference a different version of Newtonsoft than the asp.net project? Here is my advice: go to the package manager of the class library. Uninstall the Newtonsoft package. Search for the latest Newtonsoft package, download/install it. Alternatively, you can update the installed version of Newtonsoft in the class library.

Dependencies not loading or partially loading

I am trying to work with the MS Lync UCMA 4.0 sdk and just switched to using Visual Studio 2012 (becuase .NET 4.5 Framework is required). I can't figure out what is going on here, I've set the Target CPU to x64 and the Target Framework to .Net Framework 4.5 because I was getting the error:
"Could not load file or assembly 'SIPEPS, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."
Now that I've made these changes I get the below error.

I had a very similar problem. I found the problem was that it couldn't find the dependency, and I was able to find out which one by using a dependency walker.

You can open your .exe here, and it'll point out what you're missing in your project. For me it was the Microsoft C++ redist.
I had a similar issue after I copied my test code from my local machine to the trusted application server. I had to remove the Microsoft.Rtc.Collaboration dll reference from the project and browsed it in the application server and re-linked it.

They cannot address my problem.
how can I solve this problem?
There is now a menu option to run the 64bit version of IIS Express.
From Visual Studio menu select Tools -> Options... -> Projects and Solutions -> Web Projects
Click the button for "Use the 64 bit version of IIS Express for web sites and projects"
Go to Respective ==> Site Application Pool ,
Click on ==> Advance Settings
Change value of ==> "Enable 32-Bit Applications" from False to True
I had this same error message trying to run (debug) a 64-bit MVC site using IIS Express 8.0. I verified that all my projects were targetting the x64 Platform.
The problem was occurring because Visual Studio runs the 32-bit version of IIS Express. The only way I could get it to work was to run the 64-bit IIS Express by executing the following command manually.
"C:\Program Files\IIS Express\iisexpress.exe" /config:"U:\IISExpress\config\applicationhost.config" /site:"Imaging.Web" /apppool:"Clr4IntegratedAppPool"
Then in your Visual Studio web project go to Properties, select "Use Custom Web Server", and enter the url to your site.
In order to Debug, go to debug > Attach to Process.. and then select your running IIS Express instance.
The Visual Studio team really should make this an option in the Project Properties.
-create a new IIS pool for your web site
-Enable 32bit for this pool

So I re install the Vs 2010 also But Same error repeat.
Please Help me to solve this issue.
Check if you have disabled CopyLocal in Visual Studio project and enable it. It seems some assembly dependencies are not copied to temp folder and you get the run-time binding error.
