Assembly mismatch despite having assembly redirect and loading correct version

Question

My console app uses System.Net.Http.Formatting v5.1.0.0 that depends on Newtonsoft.Json v4.5.0.0. My app however includes v6.0.0.0 of Newtonsoft.Json (for other reasons).

There is no evidence that your is in effect. You should see:

LOG: Redirect found in application configuration file: 4.5.0.0 redirected to 6.0.0.0.
LOG: Post-policy reference: Newtonsoft.Json, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed

There are no breadcrumbs in your question, but whatever you edited appeared to not have been D:\ConsoleApplication1\bin\Debug\ConsoleApplication1.exe.Config. Odd drive letter. Beware of a project already having an App.config project item and you adding App1.config. Something like that.
