I have seen so many threads about "Could not find the file ..." but no one about copy this *.exe manifest, at this point i tried:
1) Close solution, close VS, delete obj & bin folders, clean/build.
2) Double check, triple check, N checks to have same XF versions on all projects.
Seems like to everybody these solutions worked, nope for me.
If it is helpfull i'm using this:
