Answer 1

I have experienced the same situation and managed to fix the problem with these steps,

1. Read the error information carefully which provides helpful details to rectify the situation.
2. I wouldn't change the machine.config file.
3. As it says Application cannot find a reference to the assembly MySql.Web and the version it is trying to reference is Version=6.7.4.0.
4. Based on path you install MySql you will be able to find the correct assembly files, ex : C:\Program Files\MySQL\Connector NET 6.7.4\Assemblies\v4.0\MySql.Web.dll
5. Copy C:\Program Files\MySQL\Connector NET 6.7.4\Assemblies\v4.0\MySql.Web.dll file to bin folder. (I would copy all the files in C:\Program Files\MySQL\Connector NET 6.7.4\Assemblies\v4.0\ folder to bin folder)

Hope this helps! Thanks
