System.Web.Mvc not functioning as expected after Windows Update

Question

After yesterday\'s Windows Update, I seem to have issues building my projects.

Related Windows Updates could be:
ASP.NET MVC 2.0: KB2993939
ASP.NET MVC 3.0:

This issue was present for me. However, the fix was much more simplified than using nuget to fix or making updates to web.config. My issue was resolved by manually updating the text in {ProjectName}.csproj from

Reference Include="System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35, processorArchitecture=MSIL"

to

Reference Include="System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35, processorArchitecture=MSIL" , and checking in the changes, and running a build in the build agent machine, which, for me, was TeamCity.

Even though this caused build errors locally, it resolved the source control/Team City build errors.

I realize that this doesnt allow me to build locally, without having making changes to the csproj file. However, after I checkin the change as I did above(changing it from 3.0.0.1 to 3.0.0.0), I can update the project locally to use the new version (3.0.0.1), and just not check in the changes to csproj. I imagine someone may have a similar scenario.
