This error is most likely happening because a .NET routine is looking for another .NET component in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) and not finding it.

To see whether your GAC has the proper component file, please look in your assembly directory, most likely located in Windows\assembly. When you view these files there should be a column labeled "Public Key Token." Please verify that you have files with the Key Token b77a5c561934e089; I believe the particular file we are looking for in this case is System.Xml, Version 2.0.0.0. Since Xml serialization changed between .NET 3.5 and .NET 4.0, if you've only installed .NET 4.0, or if .NET 3.5 did not install completely, this system file may not be present in your assembly folder.

If the proper files are installed in this directory, then either they are not loading properly (and we should be able to test for this), or something is preventing the call to them (typically this is a virus or antivirus type program, or a security type setting).

Something else to verify. Please look in this folder:

Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727

And check the file version of the file:

System.XML.dll

It should be version 2.0.50727.4016.

After that we could check Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\machine.config (it's an XML file, should load in any vanilla text editor.)

There should be a section that looks something like this:

<sectionGroup name="system.xml.serialization" type="System.Xml.Serialization.Configuration.SerializationSectionGroup, System.Xml, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089">
<section name="schemaImporterExtensions" type="System.Xml.Serialization.Configuration.SchemaImporterExtensionsSection, System.Xml, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"/>
<section name="dateTimeSerialization" type="System.Xml.Serialization.Configuration.DateTimeSerializationSection, System.Xml, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"/>
<section name="xmlSerializer" type="System.Xml.Serialization.Configuration.XmlSerializerSection, System.Xml, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false"/>
</sectionGroup>

If I understand correctly, this is the configuration section that tells the Global Assembly Cache where to look for XML serialization libraries.
