The issue seems to be related to Newtonsoft.Json.Bson which is a dependancy on the client project

I have included a copy of the packages.config , before and after the upgrade. You cna see that the Newtonsoft.Json packages are already installed and at teh latest level.

packages_files.zip

Rolling back the update fixes teh runtime issue but it means im on the older version of the package, I have verified that the files are in the right location and before and after they don't change.

Let me know if you need anything else.

why this Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client library`s version jump from v-5.2.9 to 6.0.0? it should be 5.3.0.

Did you have automatic binding redirects enabled or add them yourself using something like Get-Project –All | Add-BindingRedirect?
