I tinkered with my ASP.NET MVC4 packages via NuGet, and now System.Web.WebPages.Razor v3
won't load. Sometimes other packages won't load either.
My coworker runs the solution without any trouble, so the issue is definitely configuration on my development system (as opposed to anything that's been checked in).
I have already tried the recommendations at various SOf and other fora links, including:
As well as suggestions linked from there. I also checked the Control Panel and found no installed programs that referenced MVC. (If it matters, I'm running MS Win 7 SP 1.)
I am open to any and all suggestions.
Here's my core dump info:

ETA: When I tried manually updating Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc
to version 3, here's the error I got on Package Manager Console:
Install failed. Rolling back... Install-Package : Updating
'Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc 5.0.0' to 'Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc 3.0.20105.1'
failed. Unable to find a version of
'Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.FixedDisplayModes' that is compatible wi th
'Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc 3.0.20105.1'. At line:1 char:16
+ Install-Package <<<< Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc -Version 3.0.20105.1
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Install-Package], InvalidOperationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NuGetCmdletUnhandledException,NuGet.PowerShell.Commands.InstallPackageCommand
ETA2: I got the packages directory from my coworker. They have MS.AspNet.Mvc
v5, and they're running just fine. But they ALSO have MS.AspNet.Mvc.FixedDisplayModes
v5. So I'm going to add both of those in. And yes, I have backed up my entire solution. :)
ETA3: So I re-upgraded to AspNet MVC v5, and skipped the deprecated Mvc.FixedDisplayNodes. Then I got a problem with conflicting versions of AspNet.WebPages, so I used this fix: Conflicting versions of ASP.NET Web Pages detected: specified version is "1.0.0.0", but the version in bin is "2.0.0.0" in ASP.MET MVC 3
And now my project runs!
Thanks all for the help!
