ImageResizer AzureReader2 Plugin Nuget Error Out of the Box - imageresizer

Question

I am getting an error when installing the ImageResizer AzureReader2 plugin. This is on a fresh install in an empty web project using Nuget to install the ImageResizer packages.
It is very similar to this issue here, but a binding redirect does not seem to fix the issue. I have also tried updating to 3.0 with the same issue.
Here is the stack :

I resolved this issue by moving to ImageResizer version 4.0 stack, which at this time is in pre-release and was not showing in the package manager console.
