this is caused by assembly version miss match, and can be fixed by Redirecting Assembly Versions , please refer to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/configure-apps/redirect-assembly-versions .
And redirections can be generated by vs automatically, please refer to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/configure-apps/how-to-enable-and-disable-automatic-binding-redirection
