Answer 1

In my situation I was getting this same error. I am using git along with Source Tree for version control. In my case git had been enabled in the project, but I wasn't using Visual Studio to stage my commits, etc .. I was using Source Tree. This doesn't really matter what I was using the problem is that visual studio had put the following line into my gitignore file:

#Build Results
[Bb]in/

That was ignoring the bin folder so my bin folder never got pushed up to the server, once I removed that line and committed the entire bin directory and pushed it up to the server and then went to the server and did a git pull. The bin folder showed up and everything started working!

BTW, my final gitignore file (#Build results) section ended up looking like this:

# Build results

[Dd]ebug/
[Rr]elease/
x64/
build/
[Oo]bj/

Im still unsure if I need the Obj folder to be pushed to the server, but everything is working fine now.
