I am working with asp.net MVC application(.net framework 4.6.1), I want to use the bundle for .less files so I register the bundles in BundleConfig file as follows
public static void RegisterBundles(BundleCollection bundles)
{
//other bundles are here ..
bundles.Add(new LessBundle("~/Content/less").Include("~/Content/*.less"));
}
in order to use the less I already installed the following packages from package manager
dotless.Core.1.6.0.1
dotless.AspNetHandler.1.6.0.1
System.Web.Optimization.Less.1.3.4
this is my "_Layout.cshtml"
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html style=" height: 100%;
margin: 0;">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">
<title>@ViewBag.Title - My ASP.NET Application</title>
@Styles.Render("~/Content/css")
@Styles.Render("~/Content/less")
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/modernizr")
</head>
<body style="padding:0;margin:0;" class="col-12 h-100">
<div class="h-100 border">
@RenderBody()
</div>
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/bootstrap")
@RenderSection("scripts", required: false)
</body>
</html>
now when I am running the application, getting following error at @Styles.Render("~/Content/less")
System.TypeLoadException: 'Could not load type 'dotless.Core.configuration.WebConfigConfigurationLoader' from assembly 'dotless.Core, Version=1.5.3.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=96b446c9e63eae34'.'
I googled for this error and got dotless: Don’t upgrade your dotless if you use System.Web.Optimization.Less link who already encountered with this issue, but I still getting same error even followed the their suggestion.
Please help if some one already faced this issue.

Seems System.Web.Optimization.Less still expects WebConfigConfigurationLoader to be in the dotless.Core assembly, which it isn't as of dotless 1.6 (it's been moved to the new dotless.AspNet assembly).
I reverted to dotless 1.5.2 and everything works fine now.
