Moq : FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Runtime'

3

I'm trying to learn Moq, and unit testing and i've got an error i don't understand when trying to use Moq.

The code below is pretty much copy-pasted from https://github.com/Moq/moq4/wiki/Quickstart. I'm using it because the error also occurs on the main project i am working on and i just want to limit and potential errors i've caused with my newbishness.

System.Runtime has been downloaded, and it's referenced.

Edit: Also i've tried version 4.0.0 and the error is still there.

using System;
using NUnit.Framework;
using Proje.Controllers;
using Proje.Models;
using Proje.DAL;
using Moq;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.Runtime;


namespace Proje.UnitTests.Controllers
{
    [TestFixture]
    public class BaseControllerTests
    {
        public interface IFoo
        {
            Bar Bar { get; set; }
            string Name { get; set; }
            int Value { get; set; }
            bool DoSomething(string value);
            bool DoSomething(int number, string value);
            string DoSomethingStringy(string value);
            bool TryParse(string value, out string outputValue);
            bool Submit(ref Bar bar);
            int GetCount();
            bool Add(int value);
        }

        public class Bar
        {
            public virtual Baz Baz { get; set; }
            public virtual bool Submit() { return false; }
        }

        public class Baz
        {
            public virtual string Name { get; set; }
        }

        [Test]
        public void TestTest() {

            var mock = new Mock<IFoo>();
            mock.Setup(foo => foo.DoSomething("ping")).Returns(true);
            //Assert some stuff
        }

So, as we discovered together with @loveforfire33 during investigation using fuslogvw the issue was in versioning.

Packages.config used version 4.3.0
<package id="System.Runtime" version="4.3.0" targetFramework="net471" />

However, binding redirect in app.config was configured for version 4.1.2.0

<dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity name="System.Runtime" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral" />
        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-4.1.2.0" newVersion="4.1.2.0" />
      </dependentAssembly>

Changing binding redirect upper limit version and new version to 4.3.0 solved the issue.
