Issue with Mediachase.Commerce.Customers.Plugins.AutoInstallMetaDataModule not implementing an interface

Greetings!

This regards the latest EPiServer CMS and Commerce packages as of 2016.11.14.
In other words, I'm using the latest EPiServer versions, i.e. version 10.0.1.

After updating the CMS and CommerceManager parts of a site I'm working on, I'm getting this error after logging into the commerce shell
Exception Details: System.ArgumentException: Mediachase.Commerce.Customers.Plugins.AutoInstallMetaDataModule must be a valid class implenting Mediachase.BusinessFoundation.Data.Business.IPlugin

With this stack trace:

[ArgumentException: Mediachase.Commerce.Customers.Plugins.AutoInstallMetaDataModule must be a valid class implenting Mediachase.BusinessFoundation.Data.Business.IPlugin]

I've found that the class in the error, Mediachase.Commerce.Customers.Plugins.AutoInstallMetaDataModule, is under EPiServer.Commerce.Core.10.0.1, which is as expected version 10.0.1.

I've attempted:

Cleaning (and manually deleting anything remaining in all the solutions' bin folders) and rebuilding the solution.
Downgrading EPiServer.Commerce.Core to 10.0.0. That didn't work, and obviously neither did it when I re-updated to 10.0.1.
Restarting IIS which I'm using to run the sites in dev.
Stopping IIS and manually deleting everything in the temp-folders for .NET.
Restarting the computer.
I've also had a more experienced colleagure take a look at it, with no success.

And a load of other smaller things.

It's worth noting that I've only been working on the CMS part for some time now, and it's at least a few weeks since last time I had the Commerce-project in the solution running.

Thus now I'm deferring to you, Internet. Do you have any ideas?

Hi,

You should make sure your Configs\baf.manager.data.config contains only this

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<businessManager>
<handlers>
<add metaClass="Folder" method="*" type="Mediachase.Commerce.Assets.FolderRequestHandler, Mediachase.Commerce" />
<add metaClass="FolderElement" method="*" type="Mediachase.Commerce.Assets.FolderElementRequestHandler, Mediachase.Commerce" />

<add method="Delete" metaClass="*" eventStage="PreMainOperationInsideTranasaction" type="Mediachase.Commerce.Core.CleanupBridgeElementPlugin, Mediachase.Commerce" />
</plugins>
</businessManager>

When you upgrade the upgrade script should remove the unused lines, but I suspect for some reasons it did not do it for you.
