Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json ...' - json

When trying to run my VB.NET MVC4 application I receive the following error
Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=4.5.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the
file specified.
I cannot locate this package in my reference list whatsoever.

Many steps to get this Newtonsoft.Json installed since Tools > Nuget Package Manager did not exist in my VS 2012 instance.
1) Uninstall Nuget
a) Rename the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions folder to Extensions_old
b) Run the uninstaller from Control Panel > Uninstall a Program
2) Reinstall Nuget using the .VSIX file from their website (do not use VS 2012)
3) Open the solution and run Tools > Nuget Package Manager > Package Manager Console
4) Run Install-Package Newtonsoft.Json

How to properly install the libmysql.dll on Windows?

I'm getting the following error message when I try to run an application that connects to a MySQL database instance:
"[FireDAC][Phys][MySQL]-314. Cannot load vendor library [libmysql.dll or libmysqld.dll]. Hint check it is in the PATH or application EXE directories, and has x86 bitness.".
The error persists even with the libmysql.dll file on the same directory of the application executable.
Beyond to install the MySQL Connector/C to get the libmysql.dll, it is necessary to install the Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 too.
Just copy libmysql.dll into the same folder of the application, or add the path to libmysql.dll into Path variable of system.

Could not load file or assembly "MySQL.ConnectorInstaller"

In Visual Studio 2017, I'm trying to use the MySQL Web Configuration Tool, I get the following error:
Could not load file or assembly "MySQL.ConnectorInstaller,
Version=6.10.4.0 Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d' or
one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I have connector/net 6.10.4, MySQL for Visual Studio 2.0.5, MySql.Data 6.10.4, MqSql.Data.Entity 6.10.4, and MySql.Web 6.10.4 installed.
Can't find where to get MySQL.ConnectorInstaller (dll i presume).
Seems like 6.10.4 doesn't install the .dlls correctly. I downgraded back to 6.9.10 (via NuGet) and those work fine.

SSIS via MSBuild - Could not load ...DTSRuntimeWrap

I'm using the CodePlex-hosted Microsoft.SqlServer.IntegrationServices.Build project to build a DLL that contains the MSBuild tasks for building SSIS packages via MSBuild.exe.
I also am using an MSBuild proj file that's floating around the web.
More here:
https://speaksql.wordpress.com/2013/06/07/a-journey-to-db-deployment-automaton-ssis-build-using-msbuild/
I've opened the CodePlex project, disabled signing, switched it to 4.6.1 and built the DLL and corrected paths etc. and go it semi-working. However MSBuild spits this error:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSRuntimeWrap, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I've installed SSDT latest for Visual Studio 2015. I have various SQL Server editions installed on my dev PC. The DLL seems to be present; I've copied all I need into one folder for the moment.
Open the CodePlex project again and remove the reference to Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS.
Look on your local disk for the missing Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSRuntimeWrap.dll and note the version(s) you have available.
Now look on your disk for Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS.dll and note the version(s).
Re-add the reference but make sure you pick a DLL for which you also have the version of the 'wrap' available.
Now make sure those DLLs are (re)copied over into your working folder or whatever.
If you're still having problems, you may need to copy some files around so that MSBuild.exe can find them or edit/create a config file for MSBuild.
How to solve: Custom MSBuild task requires assembly outside of AppBase

MySql.Data.dll version in Visual Studio 2010

I have an ASP.Net / c# web application running under framework 4.0, for some years now, using MySQL database.
I have recently being trying to implement reports, and have been trying to use for the first time the automated dataset wizard to create a new DataTable adapter. In running the wizard, I am able to set the datatable adapter and configure the sql statement. I am even able to execute and test it from the visual studio designer. I am also able to create a connection from the Server Explorer tab in Visual Studio and browse the database schema.
When I next try to compile the application, I get the following error:
"Error 1 Failed to generate code. Could not load file or assembly
'MySql.Data, Version=6.6.5.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d' or one of its dependencies. The
located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly
reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040) C:\Projects\Sharpview
V2\SharpView V2\App_Code\MCPS\DAL\dsCrewHistory.xsd 1"
Looking in my bin directory, the version I have is 6.4.3.0. Does this mean that I have to download MySQL.Data.dll version 6.6.5.0 and replace it in the bin file? Where can I download this version?
In the visual studio take the reference from the explorer and make sure that the Specific Version is set to false.
If you have an acces to the file web.config make changes to the file and remove version info.
You would need to open the project file with you fav text editor and make sure the version is not mentioned , then remove the line
, Version=6.5.4.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d'

How do I reference a dll from SSIS in 2012?

I am trying to add a dll reference to my SSIS package (2012) with a script Component. The IntelliSense is working for me and I don't see error when coding. However, I get the following error:
Could not load file or assembly 'XYZ, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=XYZ' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Please help.
If this is a custom DLL, then you will need to install it into the GAC (global assembly cache) for it to run outside of SSDT.
An assembly cannot be installed into the GAC unless it's strongly signed. Once it's signed, from a Visual Studio command prompt, registration would look like gacutil -if MyRadAssembly.dll
