Answer 1

after referencing the following NuGet: Microsoft ASP.NET Web API 2.2 Core Libraries

these are my Owin packages i have referenced:

startup.cs looks like this:

public class Startup
{
    public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
    {
        HttpConfiguration config = new HttpConfiguration();

        // Web API routes
        config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();

        // Removed for clarity
        // ConfigureOAuth(app);

        app.UseCors(Microsoft.Owin.Cors.CorsOptions.AllowAll);

        app.UseWebApi(config);
    }
}
