Getting error "Provider must implement the class 'System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateStoreProviderBase'." while configuring the Redis server to web config in windows server.

Question

Hi ,

I have downloaded the REDIS server msi "Redis-x64-5.0.10.msi" from this link "https://github.com/tporadowski/redis/releases" and after installing the REDIS server , now trying to configuring the redis server for session state management in web config by providing below -

<sessionState mode="Custom" customProvider="MySessionStateStore">
<providers>
<add name="MySessionStateStore" type="Microsoft.Web.Redis.RedisSessionStateProvider " host="192.168.2.235" port="6379" preCondition="integratedMode" throwOnError="true" connectionTimeoutInMilliseconds="20000" operationTimeoutInMilliseconds="20000" retryTimeoutInMilliseconds="21000" databaseId="3"
applicationName="Tahoe"/>
</providers>
</sessionState>

but after running the application its throws error "Provider must implement the class 'System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateStoreProviderBase'."

.Please suggest how to fix this when REDIS server is directly installed into windows server.

Note : not using azure , WSL and docker for Redis server , directly installing in windows server
