Could not load type 'StackExchange.Redis.HashEntry' from assembly 'StackExchange.Redis

Question

I was trying to setup the RedisSessionProvider to use with my Azure website via the Nuget package that's available.

When I run my website I get the following error:

Could not load type 'StackExchange.Redis.HashEntry' from assembly 'StackExchange.Redis, Version=1.0.219.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

I've tried uninstalling and re-installing but no luck.

Answer 1

Turns out when installing a fresh copy of the RedisSessionProvider it installs a really old version of StackExchange.Redis, once I updated that it worked.
