VS2017 Msbuild Framework Error
Issue
After reinstalling my laptop, My web project that originally normal cannot be deployed.It shows errors Could not load file or assembly "Microsoft.Build.Framework".
Reason
Below image is my currently web.config that contains binding redirect setting which is the newest 14.0.0.0, but it shows error was cannot find 4.0.0.0.
My previous os has installed both of VS2015 and VS2017 then the project upgrade from 4.6.2 to 4.7 so that my judge the reason could be lack of some of the old version dll.
ps:This setting cames from Microsoft Report Viewer 14.
