WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

For users running Windows 7:

"With this update [v1.7.4.0] we updated the required .net Framework version to 4.7.2. Make sure this is installed on your system as Windows 7 does not come with it pre-installed."
