Could not load type 'EPiServer.Web.InitializationModule' from assembly 'EPiServer'

Vote:
 

After following al upgrade steps from https://world.episerver.com/documentation/upgrading/Episerver-CMS/cms-11/breaking-changes-cms-11/to upgrade from CMS 10 to CMS 11, but I keep getting the following exception on trying to access the CMS via the browser:

Could not load type 'EPiServer.Web.InitializationModule' from assembly 'EPiServer, Version=10.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=8fe83dea738b45b7'.

It seems that some code tries to load the type InitializationModule from the wrong assembly, as this specific type was moved from EpiServer.dll to EPiServer.Cms.AspNet, according to the upgrade documentation: EPiServer.Web.InitializationModule has been moved to EPiServer.Cms.AspNet assembly...

  • I have the correct 11.3.4 episerver DLLs in the /bin folder.
  • I have deleted any temporary files from c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files\root\
  • I cleaned/rebuilt/restarted IIS

Still same issue.

Any ideas are welcome.

Do you have any 3rd parties assembly hanging around? They might be the culprit? 

Also make sure you have the correct binding redirect in web.config

<p>I have viewed the assemblies being loaded using FusionLog, and indeed have seen that there are some custom Epi&nbsp;add-onns that were referencing an old Epi version 10.0.1.0. These add-ons were&nbsp;POSSIBLE.RobotsTxtHandler and&nbsp;Geta.Tags. After updating both Nuget packages to their latest version the problem has disappeard (and replaced with another issue which I wont mention here.)</p> <p>Thanks for the help!</p>
