Connection throwing exception on latest versions

[EricWu91]

I'm trying to use StackExchange.Redis in the 2.+ versions, and a

Unable to load assembly 'System.Memory, Version=4.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51' or one of its dependencies. File could not be found.

exception is thrown on ConnectionMultiplexer.Connect();

This exception is thrown on both ASP.NET WebForms and WCF (both 4.7.2) applications. LINQPad 5 connects correctly.

Using the version 1.2.6 in WCF succeeds in connecting, but throws different exceptions on WebForms (probably a different issue).

@EricWu91 :

Add following to your app.config.

			<dependentAssembly>
				<assemblyIdentity name="System.Memory" publicKeyToken="cc7b13ffcd2ddd51" culture="neutral" />
				<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-4.0.1.1" newVersion="4.0.1.1" />
			</dependentAssembly>
