Thanks , Resolved had to remove all Previous refrences of mvc3 and re-refrence it again from /ProgramFiles/ASP.NET MVC 3/System.Web.Mvc.dll as on default it shows assemblies of only mvc4

There is another way to resolve the "Entry point not found exception", you can add the following section in your

<runtime>
        <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
            <dependentAssembly>
                <assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.Mvc" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" />
                <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-4.0.0.0" newVersion="4.0.0.0" />
            </dependentAssembly>
        </assemblyBinding>
    </runtime>

This will instruct the runtime to use MVC4 binaries. We are using this in our projects without any exceptions.

Answer 3

I had a similar error message and it was caused by the fact that I used nuget to get version 5.0.0.0 of System.Web.Mvc. I rolled back to an earlier version via package manager console like so: Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc -Version 4.0.30506 and that solved the issue.

Answer 4

I was having the same problem, in Visual Studio you can fix this error with the Package Manager Console and the command:

update-package
