Answer 1

DLL hell is a pain.

Check that the DLLs referenced are present in the correct location. Check that the versions of the DLLs are the same as the ones you have added to your project. Check that the dependencies the DLLs are all present. Check that the references in your project are correct. think Rotativa also needs to be loaded into your project as well.
