I'm trying to publish an ASP.NET MVC 4 Internet Application. After it's been published, I go ahead and click the link for my website and find this:
Server Error in '/' Application.
Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Http, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Assembly Load Trace: The following information can be helpful to determine why the assembly 'System.Web.Http, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' could not be loaded.
WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF. To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1. Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging. To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

What I've tried so far:
- Modify the registry, failed. Also, I am not sure about whether this would solve my issue.
- Set the 'System.Web.Http.WebHost Copy Local' Property to 'true'. That didn't solve the issue either.
Update: the version of the System.Web.Http.WebHost is 4.0.20710.0
The issue seems to be with finding the deployed assembly in your bin folder.
Check the bin folder - it should contain System.Web.Http.WebHost dll.
If this dll is in this folder, check the version by right-clicking the file and then properties.
If it isn't 4.0.0.0, then you should deploy version 4.0.0.0 or try right clicking on the reference in your project and making sure the "Specific Version" property is set to false.
