CS0656: Missing compiler required member 'Microsoft.CSharp.RuntimeBinder.Binder.InvokeMember' When adding IronPDF

Question

I have an old version of Umbraco, 7.4.5 running on net framework 4.8. When adding IronPDF and trying to load http://localhost/umbraco the page won't load (run-time error) because presumably, it is trying to reference Microsoft.CSharp from IronPDF via something dynamic in the umbraco backend/razor views/etc.

I've tried the following:

• Reinstall iron pdf
• Reinstall umbraco
• Remove the Microsoft.CSharp and add via Nuget
• Aliased all the IronPDF references to something besides global

If I remove IronPDF, umbraco works as expected.

How can I work around this issue?
