I did upgrade my MVC2 application to MVC3 using http://aspnet.codeplex.com/releases/view/59008 updater.

When running the application I get the error as

The type 'System.Web.WebPages.Razor.WebRazorHostFactory' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'System.Web.WebPages.Razor, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'.

How can I fix this error??
