Config Problems with MVC 4

[stevozilik]

Hi,

The MvcMailer NuGet package messes up the Web.config for Views in a MVC 4 beta Internet Application.

Steps to reproduce:

• create a default template MVC 4 Internet Application
• install MvcMailer: install-package MvcMailer
• update Scaffolding as per http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10241797/error-scaffolding-with-mvcmailer-in-mvc-4 : update-package T4Scaffolding (the other command would not even run for me Update-Package MvcScaffolding)
• restart VS
• the View's Web.config contains duplicate entries referencing Razor 3.0 libraries. Since there are references to Razor 4.0 libraries, the app stops working.

Resolution: remove the redundant references to 3.0 libraries

this line needs to be removed

<host factoryType="System.Web.Mvc.MvcWebRazorHostFactory, System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />

and this

 </pages>
<pages validateRequest="false" pageParserFilterType="System.Web.Mvc.ViewTypeParserFilter, System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" pageBaseType="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage, System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" userControlBaseType="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl, System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35">

that's correct. However the issue still remains, this should not happen in first place.
