    I'm repeatedly getting this message in the Event Viewer. Any advice how I can correct this? (If you say something like, "Install Newtonsoft.Json on your server," I'll need more details that that...)

    Error ViewEasyDNNnews Main - PageInit:Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=4.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference.

      What dnn version are you using? Suppose if you're using dnn 9, go to dnn 9 install.zip files(found in dnn website), unzip them then go to website/install/module - there should be newtonsoft zip file with the version on that(note that version). Go to your web.config file and search for newtonsoft then replace the version on that. lets say the version you found in install files is 10.0.2.21 but in config file replace it as 10.0.0.0 but your config file should have something like 4.5.0.0.

        Thank you for your reply.

        I just upgraded to DNN verison 08.00.04 from a 7.05.something.

        My web.config has:

              <dependentAssembly>
                <assemblyIdentity name="Newtonsoft.Json" publicKeyToken="30ad4fe6b2a6aeed" />
                <codeBase version="6.0.0.0" href="DesktopModules\OnyakTech.SigmaLive.PopUp\bin\Newtonsoft.Json.dll" />
              </dependentAssembly>

        The version of Newtonsoft.Json.dll I have in dnn\bin is from 2016, which is likely when the original dnn verison 7 was installed. It does not look like it's been changed since then, and the upgrade to 08.00.04 didn't replace Newtonsoft.Json.dll.

          Go to https://github.com/dnnsof...tree/master/08.00.04

          Download the install.zip. Unpack and go to website/install/module. Take the newton soft zip file from that folder and place it in your servers website/install/ module folder. And run the install resources url. It should change the config file. Sometimes it may not update the config files. See the version on that newtonsoft zip file(generally the zip file name has the version on it). Copy that version and paste it in config file where there is 6.0.0.0 and replace it with new x.0.0.0 and restart website.
