Failed to update binding redirects […] Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

Scope:

This seems to happen only on .NET framework 4.8 projects (YMMV)

Problem:

A combination of assembly loading results in different grant sets

Workaround:

Create a new DWORD registry value called LoaderOptimization as below:

KEY HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework
DWORD LoaderOptimization 
VALUE 1
