TargetInvocationException when using MicrosoftAjaxJsMinifier Module

Hello,

I've been battling this for a few hours now, and after finally thinking to check the Windows event viewer I determined the source of the problem.

When using the AjaxJsMinfier to minify the JS bundles in my project, I was being met with 404s from all of the bundles. I wasn't entirely sure what the initial problem was, but after consulting the Event Viewer I have determined the issue seems to be coming out of a dependency mismatch.

I am currently using BundleTransformerCore v1.10.0 with BundleTransformer.MicrosoftAjax v1.10.0. I have copied the sample JS and CSS configurations from the samples on this repo.

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'AjaxMin, Version=5.14.5506.26196, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=21ef50ce11b5d80f' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Specifically, it looks like the AjaxJsMinifier is trying to use a version of Ajax Min, that as far as I can tell, has never existed (at least publicly). I'm 99% certain this is likely a configuration issue on my end, and not something wrong with the NuGet package itself.

All bundles are configured as follows:


var bundleJS = new CustomScriptBundle("~/bundles/bundleExampleJS");
bundleJS.Include"(~/Scripts/subfolder/foo.js");
bundleJS.Orderer = nullOrderer; // defined as `var nullOrderer = new NullOrderer()` 
bundles.Add(bundleJS);

Thank you for any assistance on this.
