After pulling an old project down from source control and attempting to run it, I'm getting the following error:
=== Pre-bind state information ===
LOG: DisplayName = Microsoft.AspNet.Scaffolding.12.0
(Partial)
WRN: Partial binding information was supplied for an assembly:
WRN: Assembly Name: Microsoft.AspNet.Scaffolding.12.0 | Domain ID: 3
WRN: A partial bind occurs when only part of the assembly display name is provided.
WRN: This might result in the binder loading an incorrect assembly.
WRN: It is recommended to provide a fully specified textual identity for the assembly,
WRN: that consists of the simple name, version, culture, and public key token.
WRN: See whitepaper http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=109270 for more information and common solutions to this issue.

What could be causing this?
I've tried:
I'm using IISExpress; this is localhost and the error is appearing when I run the app in Release and Debug modes (classic yellow ASP.Net error).

Please double check that 64-Bit IISExpress is not being run in Visual Studio
Go to: Tools -> Options -> Project and Solutions -> Web Projects
uncheck "Use 64-bit IIS Express"
Check the version of Microsoft.AspNet.Scaffolding in packages.config and see if it is different then the version of your DLL. Correct the version in packages.config if its incorrect.
