I get a MvcWebRazorHostFactory error trying to run my app, but it\'s not an MVC app at all. I have the following web packages installed via nuget:

Microsoft         


        

Answer 1

Several of the answers point in the right direction, but I was not sure where in the Microsoft Visual Studio for Mac interface I could find the appropriate version number to use for the version part of the factoryType attribute.

For the benefit of other VS for Mac users, the answer is to simply right-click on the Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc package in the Packages list in the solution explorer.

In my case, the package version was "5.2.6" after a package update, so I set the version part of the factoryType attribute to Version=5.2.6.0. This solved the problem.
