The project runs fine locally, its only when published I get the following error:
Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Razor' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
Having spent the last few hours googling the problem seems to be that a nuget package I added to the project references razor 1 and overwrote my razor 2 dll. I've tried copying the razor 2.0.0.0 dll into refernces instead of 1 but the error persists. This is where the conflict is shown in the detailed build output:
There was a conflict between "System.Web.Razor, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" and "System.Web.Razor, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35".

1> Recaptcha
From there it continues to list other packages depending on razor 2.
The packages I added to the project were: Recaptcha, Recaptcha.mvcModel and Postal.
Does anyone have an idea what steps I can take to resolve this?
Let me know if there is any more information I can give that might lead to a solution.
Finally got this sorted, downloaded razor2.0 again from nuget. Seemed to sort the webconfig and fix dependency errors. Is up and running on azure not without any problem.
