Could not load type 'System.ServiceModel.Activ

Question

I'm running my Web Project in IIS.

It is a 4.0 Framework APP.

I have a Service.svc and I get this error when I run my Application.

"Could not load type 'System.ServiceModel.Activation.HttpModule' from assembly 'System.ServiceModel, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'"

I tried this --> aspnet_regiis.exe -iru which I found in a lot of forums and it didn't solve my problem.

Does anyone know another method ?

Answer 1

We are using a web service along side a web site and when we publish the web site it returns same this error. We found out that by going into IIS and removing the ServiceModel from Modules and the svc-Integrated from the Handler Mappings the error went away.

You can install these features on windows server 2012 with powershell using the following commands:

Install-WindowsFeature -Name  NET-Framework-Features -IncludeAllSubFeature
Install-WindowsFeature -Name  NET-WCF-HTTP-Activation45 -IncludeAllSubFeature

You can get a list of features with the following command:

Get-WindowsFeature | Format-Table

Answer 3

Ok, finally got it.

Change this line in System32/ApplicationHost.config

<add name="ServiceModel" type="System.ServiceModel.Activation.HttpModule, System.ServiceModel, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" preCondition="managedHandler" />

To

<add name="ServiceModel" type="System.ServiceModel.Activation.HttpModule, System.ServiceModel, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" preCondition="managedHandler,runtimeVersionv2.0" />

If this is not enough

Add this following line to the Web.config

<system.webServer>
  <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
</system.webServer>

I got this error after I accidentally published one website into the directory of another website. The two websites had different versions of .net. What fixed it for me was changing the application pool. To do that, in the IIS manager:

click the website => Advanced Settings... (on the right) => click to the right of Application Pool => a button with "..." should appear => select ".NET v4.5 Classic"

If that application pool doesn't work, try some of the others.
