Issues with upgrading from 10 to 11 - Could not load type 'EPiServer.Web.InitializationModule'
This is most likely one ore more assemblies were not upgraded to reference to Episerver.Cms.Aspnet.dll. i.e. they are still referencing to Episerver.cms.dll. Do you have any 3rd party assemblies?

Every project in the solution is referencing Episerver.Cms.Aspnet.dll. We have a project that used to be 3rd party but looks like it is now included if you download through Nuget: Geta.SEO.Sitemaps - but even that project is referencing the correct aspnet.dll.

You could try to open all assemblies in bin folder in a decomiler like dotpeek to see which assembly that is compiled against CMS 10

I know this was listed as one of the breaking changes in the documentation - that 'EPiServer.Web.InitializationModule' moved to EPiServer.Cms.AspNet, however I keep getting this error when trying to run our site which gives me really nowhere to look:
[TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'EPiServer.Web.InitializationModule' from assembly 'EPiServer, Version=10.10.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=8fe83dea738b45b7'.] EPiServer.Framework.Initialization.InitializationModule.EngineExecute(HostType hostType, Action`1 engineAction) +817 EPiServer.Framework.Initialization.InitializationModule.FrameworkInitialization(HostType hostType) +140 EPiServer.Global..ctor() +61 ASP.global_asax..ctor() in c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files\vs\186b312f\932369b3\App_global.asax.0.cs:0
This is what I have done to try to fix this (many times):
Made sure all projects in the solution have the correct version referenced
Checked the bin files to make sure the dll is correct
Checked all config files to make sure the versioning is correct
Reset IIS (even though I'm using IIS Express through Visual Studio)
Deleted temporary .Net files
Ran FusionLog to see what is trying to call 10.10.0.0, but everything was successfully redirecting & calling to the current version
Checked to see what was calling the actual 'EPiServer.Web.InitializationModule' and commented it out
Added (per documentation) & commented out (as above)
[ModuleDependency(typeof(EPiServer.Initialization.CmsCoreInitialization))]
//[ModuleDependency(typeof(EPiServer.Web.InitializationModule))]
I'm running out of ideas/options. Can anyone send me any more ideas? Does the code need to completely change for those sections? Is there documentation of that code change?
Thanks
