Solution 1

Try installing Microsoft.AspNet.Web.Optimization via nuget (as it is not installed by the framework).
Try install-package Microsoft.AspNet.Web.Optimization in the nuget prompt.

So I am having the same similar issue. I cloned my tfs project and ran it locally and it gives Me the same error/issue. Originally I wrote created my project locally and then placed it in a tfs project. It worked locally but now that I am using tfs its giving namespace errors for Optimization, BundleCollection, ASPNet,ScriptBundle and so on. How do I resolve this issue?
