Could not load file or assembly 'Glimpse.AspNet' or one of its dependencies

Question

I have just tried to install Glimpse.MVC5 via Nuget. After doing that I cannot run my application. The error says that the assembly Glimpse.AspNet cannot be loaded, but I found that the dll at C:\\Users\\xxx\\Documents\\Visual Studio 2013\\Projects\\yyy\\zzz\\packages\\Glimpse.AspNet.1.8.0\\lib\\net45\\Glimpse.AspNet.dll does exist. The error in full is;

Answer 1

I found what the problem was. After I created a new project to my application, the project I loaded Glimpse into was not building, and that is why there was a problem. When I build the project individually it works. I need to sort out my builds
