Answer 4

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

I managed to resolve this by running MySQL Installer and updating to the latest files available.

Answer 6

realize this is old, but in case its viewed later, here's what I found is cause / resolution.

I had to do some MySQL work on my regular .NET web server (db and web servers on same machine) so I used the MySQL installer (http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/mysql-installer-for-windows.html). That little sucker seems to have gone and updated my .NET machine.config for me, how nice, so it's connector will work well with .NET. Stupid installer. Anyways when I went to go use a .NET / SQL Server app (no tie in to MySQL) I got the same error.

Easy enough fix (and your MySQL utilizing apps should still work just fine). Just comment out the MySQL reference(s) in the appropriate .NET framwework machine.config.

NOTE: the web page the error is on will tell you what machine.config file (and line number) is offending.
