Troubleshooting 'System.Web.Mvc' Error During Sitecore Visual studio solution Publishing

In my most recent blog, I extensively covered the steps involved in configuring a Visual Studio Solution for Sitecore development. Following the publishing process, I came across an error message that read "could not load file or assembly 'system.web.mvc, version=5.2.4.0," as visibly shown above.

The root of the problem was traced back to a discrepancy between my Visual Studio solution, which was utilizing version 5.2.7.0 of 'system.web.mvc,' and the Sitecore Instance, which was employing version 5.2.4.0. To successfully address this issue,

I adopted a straightforward solution:

Copied the 'system.web.mvc.dll' and 'system.web.mvc xml' from my backed-up "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\sc103sc.dev.local - Copy\bin" folder.

Pasted to Visual Studio solution "C:\Users\ilma\source\repos\MySitecoreDemo\MySitecoreDemo\bin" and updated the solution Reference for the same.

Also pasted to current Sitecore Instance ' bin folder C:\inetpub\wwwroot\sc103sc.dev.local\bin

After doing this my back end (https://sc103sc.dev.local/sitecore) was up and running.

Thanks for Reading!!
