Method not found: 'Void System.Diagnostics.Tracing.FrameworkEventSource.BeginGetResponse(System.Object, System.String)'

Question

I upgraded to windows 8.1 Today. After the upgrade I am experiencing the following exception on one of my WPF windows:

XAML Exception: Provide value on 'System.Windows.Baml2006.TypeConverterMarkupExtension' threw an exception.

Inner Exception: Method not found: 'Void System.Diagnostics.Tracing.FrameworkEventSource.BeginGetResponse(System.Object, System.String)'.

I was not getting this exception before updating my windows. Note that when I remove the Icon from the window the exception does not occur - Icon="/MyProgram;component/Resources/language.png"

Unhandled stack trace is a follows:

    Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.

Another issue which I am guessing is related to the one above: When I try to create a new project in Visual Studio 2013 Update 4, I get the following Error

"Failed to create a 'ImageSource' from the text '..\Images\Medium.png'

I have already tried the following solutions http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vsnetsetup/archive/2013/03/19/visual-studio-2012-ide-shows-failed-to-create-a-imagesource-from-the-text-images-medium-png-while-accessing-file-new-file-open-dialog-boxes.aspx

Answer 1

NET Framework 4.6 did the trick for me, hope it works for you as well!
