Can't create Quartz.NET Scheduler in ASP.NET MVC 5

Question

After upgrading my Application to ASP.NET MVC 5 (.NET 4.5), I get the following error when creating a Scheduler client:

Type 'System.Web.HttpContextWrapper' in Assembly 'System.Web, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' is not marked as serializable.

The exception is thrown here:

var sf = new StdSchedulerFactory();
var sched = sf.GetScheduler();

The Web.Config:

<quartz>
  <add key="quartz.scheduler.instanceName" value="RemoteClient" />
  <add key="quartz.threadPool.type" value="Quartz.Simpl.SimpleThreadPool, Quartz" />
  <add key="quartz.threadPool.threadCount" value="5" />
  <add key="quartz.threadPool.threadPriority" value="Normal" />
  <add key="quartz.scheduler.proxy" value="true" />
  <add key="quartz.scheduler.proxy.address" value="tcp://127.0.0.1:555/QuartzScheduler" />
</quartz>

Quartz.NET should definitely work inside ASP.NET (MVC) application with .NET 3.5, 4.0 and 4.5. There should be no place where HTTP context would be serialized.

Check other lib issues, for example Glimpse has had trouble with this earlier
