Issue upgrade from 7.1.0 to 7.1.1 - Newtonsoft.JSON
I'm receiving an error on the site after I performed the upgrade:
Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json' or one of
its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not
match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
I copied over the /bin and updated the web.config. I can see the Newtonsoft.Json.dll. What's missing or misconfigured that I can check? Environment is Server 2012.
@Jon - If I've understood you correctly, you have now removed the above Newtonsoft.Json related items from your Web.Config? This is not correct, those lines *should* be in the web.config for 7.1.1
Perhaps you missed some of the other files that were updated in this release - particularly in \Umbraco\Js ?
From 7.1.0 Release to 7.1.1 files were updated at least in the following folders \bin \Umbraco\assets\css \Umbraco\Js \Umbraco\Views
I had a 7.1 site and decided to upgrade it to 7.1.1 with nuget and it appeared nuget doesnt get the Newtonsoft dependancy correct and you get the nessage above.
So i used the we.config from the 7.1.1 download from umbraco and the web.config is different to the nuget one so i used that instead and then the dlls were mismatched so i copied the dlls too and it all sprang back ito life.
I have got the same problem here. I am trying to upgrade from 7.1 to 7.1.1. I can not do it through nuget, so I tried manualy copying all files from the folders bin, Umbraco and Umbraco_Client. I get the same Newtonsoft.JSON error as above. Do I miss any files?
I did the copy over first and had issues, so I did nuget (always apprehensive after the solution is established, always make backups) and it resolved - no clue what it was, I think it was a missing DLL on the copy over or something and I did have the web.config addition.
OK. So I am having the same issue with 7.1.6, but when I run my project in Visual Studio I get a big NewtonsoftJSON error.
When I copy the DLL from a downloaded .zip file of Umbraco 7.1.6 and replace the DLL and refresh my URL, the site pulls up, HOWEVER, when I stop the project and rerun it in VS 2012 I get the NewtonsoftJSON error again. Is this a system issue? My error is below. I did get the initial set up from a Nuget Package, BUT I keep getting this error.

Coming in behind everyone else... This is truly not an isolated occurance as I am having the same issue with 7.1.8
I have tried everything noted above and nothing has worked. I will note that on the update nuget installed another Newtonsoft directory in the projects for the updated copy and did not remove the old. I'm using VS 2013.
Any solid answers?
UPDATE:
I replaced the dll in the bin folder and noticed that the xml file was missing. I copied them back from the install files to my project as well as made sure the web.config reflected the 6.0.0.0 version mentioned above. This worked.
We found the same solution you did. However, when we rebuilt our project (we got some sutff from NuGet) that seemed to want to overwrite the version again. So what we ended up doing in VS is , we copied over the working DLL, deleted the reference to NewstonsoftJSON in VS and repointed it to the replaced DLL. This ensured when we built the project again, it kept the reference to the correct dll.
I'm having this same issue with 7.1.9 and NuGet Umbraco install. The orignal source NewtonsoftJSON files work when I copy them over but I have to keep copying them everytime I rebuild.
You are going to have to copy over the correct version agaib. Then in you references in Visual Studio point to your Umbraco bin folder Newtonsoft dll. It is most likely pointing to the wrong one.
I had the same issue - the NewtonSoft.Json.dll in the bin folder was outdated (Version 4.5.xxx in my case). So I was wondering, where it comes from. The nuget package manager considered that the version is 6.0.xxx. I searched for all the json dlls and found the outdated one in "App_Data/NuGetBackup/xxx". Deleting all the folders underneath the NuGetBackup-Folder did the trick. Everything works fine now.
Maybe I haven't understood the answers above or it is a slightly different case in different versions of Umbraco (with me it's 7.28) and risking that i repeat the existing answers in a slightly different order, but here how my installation finally triggered:
delete reference to Newtonsoft in current Umbraco
copy Newtonsoft.Json.dll and .XML from a recent Umbraco installation,
where the error didn't occur, if you have any, in the bin folder of
your current Umbraco
add reference to the bin folder of your current Umbraco
build
I didn't change anything in the web.config. The Newtonsoft entry was alright from a start.

I commented out the following I added to the web.config (merged the packaged 7.1.1 with current) and the site came back up:
<dependentAssembly><assemblyIdentity name="Newtonsoft.Json" publicKeyToken="30ad4fe6b2a6aeed" culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-6.0.0.0" newVersion="6.0.0.0" />

From 7.1.0 Release to 7.1.1 files were updated at least in the following folders
\bin

I have just experienced something similar.

Do I miss any files?
And wich dll's are you talking about?
I downloaded the Umbraco 7.1.1 zip and copied the dlls from the bin folder and used the config from the web.config.
Download here: http://our.umbraco.org/contribute/releases/711
It is probably the settings in the web config that are now wrong in particular in the assemblyBinding section - look for the newtonsoft entries.
I did the copy over first and had issues, so I did nuget (always apprehensive after the solution is established, always make backups) and it resolved - no clue what it was, I think it was a missing DLL on the copy over or something and I did have the web.config addition.
