Assemblies affected

• OData .Net lib 7.5*

Reproduce steps

May be using the OData.Net library with combination of 4.7.2 framework and using the reflection package 4.1.20 or nuget package

Expected result

*It should load the system.reflection package from global assembly cache as 4.0 version exists in GAC

Actual result

It is not able to load the assembly from GAC .

Additional detail

*I dont see any redirects with the Odata code . I am not sure if it needs depedency on system.reflection package or not . If it is required what it should be ?
