Razor View Reference Error: FileNotFoundException - asp.net-mvc

Question

I just got to fix the old project from other guys which use visual studio 2012. I think it was built on MVC4 because it still uses WebMatrix.Data and WebMatrix.WebData. Because I don't have that vs version so I was using visual studio 2013 community edition and run install-package update. After couple fixes, I got this problem when I tried to run it. The following is the error messages:
