I already tried cleaning the solution and adding again. Build completes successfuly every time but same error =/
According to your description, we can find the path of System.Data.Entity.dll file is 'file:///C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETFramework\v4.0\System.Data.Entity.dll”
I suggest that you can create a new folder in your project (e.g. packages) and copy the System.Data.Entity.dll file into it, then remove the
EntityFramework reference and add the new reference using that System.Data.Entity.dll file.
If your project has been checked into the version control, please add and check in that folder (e.g. packages) into the server.
If you still have the issue, please provide the detail information about EntityFramwork’s properties. (Right click the ENtityFramwork reference in the VS and select the properties)
Thanks

ok sorry I did check again, I did have the references folder in
C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\Project1\packages\EntityFramework.5.0.0\lib\net40
I looked inside here and didnt see the System.entity.data.dll so I copied it but same problem. After about 20-30 mins I get the same error message. I opened the app locally and left it there for about 3 hours did not get an error at all just happening in
the live server.
I want to know why the error is said could not load 'file:///C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETFramework\v4.0\System.Data.Entity.dll', based on your reply the dll path property is C:\User\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\ProjectFile\packages\EntityFramework.5.0.0\lib\net40\EntityFramework.dll,
they are not the same.

Hi GTITC,
Thanks for your post!

Hi GTITC,
You can create a new folder by right click your project=>Add=>New folder, the name is what you want. (e.g. Ref, ABC...)
Then copy the dll into that folder.
At last remove the EntityFramwork reference in the vs and add the new EntityFramwork reference using that dll file and build your project.
On the other hand, I suggest that you can place your project in another Directory like D:/
Thanks
Best Regards

Hi,
Could you share your project in the skydrive?
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/skydrive/change-access-permissions-faq
I want to know why the error is said could not load 'file:///C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETFramework\v4.0\System.Data.Entity.dll', based on your reply the dll path property is C:\User\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\ProjectFile\packages\EntityFramework.5.0.0\lib\net40\EntityFramework.dll, they are not the same.
Thanks
