Pure MVC / Root Template change via Power Tools results in E

Hi 

Using a fresh install of Sitefinity 8.1.5810.0 I've attempted to change the default template as per the instructions here: 

github.com/.../Root-Templates

This results in the following:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Could not load type 'Telerik.Sitefinity.Mvc.Rendering.PureMvcPageResolver' from assembly 'Telerik.Sitefinity, Version=8.1.5810.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b28c218413bdf563'.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.

Does anyone know how I might resolve this?

 Thanks in advance

Hi,

The PowerTools project is not officially supported as is stated in its Readme, however judging from the error the problem appears to be coming from the fact that the PureMvcPageResolver class has been moved from the Telerik.Sitefinity.dll to the Telerik.Sitefinity.Mvc.dll.

Feel free to clone the repository and modify the code to abide to that change.
