Hi Adwin Jha,

I have vs 2013, and when I am adding controller in our WebApi Project , getting one error and error details are given below :-

"There was an error running the selected code generator : 'Error loading type library/DLL. (Exception from HRESUT : 0x80029C4A(TYPE_E_CANTLOADLIBRARY))' "

You can try the following way to fixed this error(this issue is more related to Visual Studio).

I finally fixed this by using repair tool of Visual Studio.

Reset via CLI VS settings: vswindexpress /resetuserdata - geoffwebbercross blogpost

Reset via Doc/AppSettings and regedit

Rebuild the project, restart VS, restart computer

Repair tool of Visual Studio.
