----------------------------------------

3) \bin\Debug\net461\ folders are empty. Then I downloaded nopCommerce_4.00_NoSource and After I copied .dll files from here it returns
----------------------------------------
The type or namespace name 'RedisLockFactory' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)  Nop.Core
The type or namespace name 'RedLock' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)  Nop.Core
The type or namespace name 'RedisLockFactory' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)  Nop.Core
No overload for method 'UseMiniProfiler' takes 1 arguments  Nop.Web.Framework
The call is ambiguous between the following methods or properties: 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder.MiniProfilerBuilderExtensions.UseMiniProfiler(Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder.IApplicationBuilder)' and 'Nop.Web.Framework.Infrastructure.Extensions.ApplicationBuilderExtensions.UseMiniProfiler(Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder.IApplicationBuilder)'  Nop.Web.Framework

----------------------------------------

How can I solve these problems?

Did you rebuild the Nop.Core individually? If yes then can you please check the C:\Users\youruser\.nuget\packages location and try to find that "redlock.net.strongname' folder. If this folder does not exist then you can add this from nuget by right click on the project.

Hi Sina,

I downloaded the nopCommerce 4.0 and I individually rebuild Nop.Core. It gives me

----------------------------------------
The type or namespace name 'RedLock' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)  Nop.Core
The type or namespace name 'RedisLockFactory' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)  Nop.Core
The type or namespace name 'RedisLockFactory' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)  Nop.Core

----------------------------------------

then like you said I search for redlock.net.strongname in C:\Users\youruser\.nuget\packages location

I found two version in this folder
- redlock.net.strongname
   - 1.7.5
   - 2.0.0

If this nuget package exists and already added to the project then this error should not occur. The solution somehow does not get the reference.

Hi Sina,

I moved the project files form D:\ to C:\ and it works.

Thank you for your interest
