Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Owin, Version=2.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35

Upon running in local my website has the below error.

I have checked the DLLs, its the latest 4.2.0.

LOG: DisplayName = Microsoft.Owin, Version=2.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35 (Fully-specified) Calling assembly : Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.Core, Version=2.4.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35.

WRN: Comparing the assembly name resulted in the mismatch: Major Version ERR: Failed to complete setup of assembly (hr = 0x80131040). Probing terminated.
