[Bug]: Excel Addin Setup File - Could not load file or assembly 'System.Buffers, Version=4.0.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51'Excel Addin Setup File - Could not load file or assembly 'System.Buffers, Version=4.0.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51'

Issue Description

I have installed PnP.Framework NuGet package to read files from the SharePoint portal in my Excel Addin project (.Net Framework 4.6.1). When I debug my project locally, my Addin related code is working fine. I have bundled the entire deployment files as an executable file by using Visual Studio Setup project (.msi file). After installing the Excel Addin, I am getting below error. I have tried various approaches to resolve this issue. There is no luck still now. Could you please help me to resolve this issue?

PnP.Framework Version: 1:13.0

System.Text.Json Version: 4.7.2

Also I have added binding redirect in app.config file like below.

<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
   <dependentAssembly>
       <assemblyIdentity name="System.Buffers" publicKeyToken="cc7b13ffcd2ddd51" culture="neutral" />
       <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-4.0.3.0" newVersion="4.0.3.0" />
   </dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
