Hello Again,

I have been reluctant to get help from here for like 8 or 9 years i guess, but well must be wrong. Recently I asked something Here after that thought to upgrade to the latest available option so after Upgrade from 06.01.03 (108) to 7.00.02 everything went fine in the upgrade and i did take the database/file structure backup .. and Even the Site loaded up fine after the upgrade, bits of my skin broke down , but the site was upgraded and working till 5 min after that the site broke with the following error 

Could not load file or assembly 'Telerik.Web.UI' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF. To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1. Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging. To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

I did search this some people say, updating it the newversion in web.config with the Product Version corrects the issue, on Telerik Website its mentioned to add two new handlers with in the web.config in case of such error

when i do that or when i edit the "newversion" to the latest as it is in the install version of DNN package or even replace the Telerik.Web.UI.dll with the one which comes in install version(as mentioned on Interactive Website ) i get the following error

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Any hints as to where i should look or what to do ?

Apparently the install of the latest version of Telerik.Web.UI.dll assembly file did not occur properly during the upgrade. This can be caused by insufficient file system permissions for the ASP.Net worker process account (IIS Identity Account) on the root install folder or /bin folder, a read-only attribute applied to web.config, or an unexpected element in web.config that prevents the install from modifying the web.config binding redirect.

For DNN v 7.00.02 the correct version of Telerik.Web.UI.dll both in the /bin folder and in the web.config binding redirect should be 2012.3.1205.40. I would extract this assembly from either the /bin folder of the 7.00.02 install package or from the Telerik_07.00.01_Install.zip package found in the /Install/Module folder of the 7.00.02 upgrade package. After extracting the Telerik.Web.UI.dll file place it in the site's /bin folder. While there check that the version of the Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.dll matches this same version 2012.3.1205.40. You will also need to update the binding redirect in web.config to set newVersion="2012.3.1205.40".

I'm having this same exact issue...

William, I've done as your requested above, but still having the same issue.

Any ideas?
