I have the same problem, even with existing plugins and a fresh download of the latest (3.40) version of nopCommerce. All is fine in the web application views, but in the plugins I get that error. I tried to reference System.Web.Mvc directly, but it says that Mvc is not part of the System.Web namespace. All seems to work OK when the applicaiton is running, but it would be good to get rid of the error and get my intellisense back. I am using Visual Studio 2012.
