Was facing the same issue and unfortunately nothing here was working. Finally, I came across this link: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/jjameson/2009/11/18/the-copy-local-bug-in-visual-studio/

Turns out the solution is sort of dumb: set copy-local for the microsoft.web.infrastructure dll to False, then set it back to True.

By the way, I think what is happening is that there are two versions of the microsoft.web.infrastructure dll, one that is pre-installed in the GAC, and another one that is now a nuget package. I think one is masking the other, hence causing issues. In my particular case, on my build server, I need it to be copied over to a folder (this folder is then zipped and sent off to deployment). I guess the system had a copy locally and just thought "nah, it'll be fine"
