Hi,

I developed an ASP.Net MVC v1 web application and it ran fine on our server. The client wanted to move to another server, and the site does not run on the new host's server.

The new server specs:

Windows 2008
ASP.Net Framework v4
ASP.Net MVC 2 (afaik its included with .Net v4)
IIS 7.5 (afaik)

Error Message:

Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Mvc, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

My understanding is that it should be backwards compatible. Is the app really trying to run in ASP.Net MVC v1 when v2 is available?

I have already tried deploying the MVC .dlls to the Bin folder, but it did not work.

I also tried changing all the system.Web.Mvc Version values (in the web.config for the web app) from 1.0.0.0 to 2.0.0.0, which also did not work.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I've been using ASP.NET MVC 1 for a while now, and am keen to take advantage of the improvements in MVC 2. Things like validation seem greatly improved, and strongly-typed HTML helper methods look great. So, for those of you who have real-world practical experience of using ASP.NET MVC 1 and are… >>> More
