Ninject.Web.Common No parameterless constructor defined for this object - asp.net-mvc-4

Question

I used Nuget to install the Ninject.Web.Common reference. I use it with ASP.net Web API (APIController) with no problem, but I hit problem when using the ASP.net MVC 4(Controller).
The error:
No parameterless constructor defined for this object.
NinjectWebCommon.cs:
[assembly: WebActivator.PreApplicationStartMethod(typeof(CarsApp.Web.App_Start.NinjectWebCommon), "Start")]
[assembly: WebActivator.ApplicationShutdownMethodAttribute(typeof(CarsApp.Web.App_Start.NinjectWebCommon), "Stop")]

var kernel = new StandardKernel();
kernel.Bind<Func<IKernel>>().ToMethod(ctx => () => new Bootstrapper().Kernel);
kernel.Bind<IHttpModule>().To<HttpApplicationInitializationHttpModule>();
// Install our Ninject-based IDependencyResolver into the Web API config
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.DependencyResolver = new NinjectDependencyResolver(kernel);
RegisterServices(kernel);
return kernel;
}

Answer 1

I am using MVC5 and using Install-Package Ninject.MVC5 solved my issue.

Answer 2

try with Install-Package Ninject.MVC3

Answer 3

Check if in your Web.config you have two lines for MVC versioning, I had something like:
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.Mvc" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-4.0.0.0" newVersion="4.0.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.Mvc" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="4.0.0.0-4.0.0.1" newVersion="4.0.0.1" />
</dependentAssembly>
If you do then replace them with one line like, to redirect to highest version that you are using in my case it's 4.0.0.1:
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.Mvc" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-4.0.0.1" newVersion="4.0.0.1" />
</dependentAssembly>
This did it for me.
