Error: Unable to load one or more of the requested types.

Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.

The logs show what happens if i start just choco or choco --version or choco list basically anything at all it does not seem to start chocolatey but instead shows me that one error line above.
