VJSharpCodeProvider failed to load in the 'LoadFrom' Binding - Visual Studio 2010

I was working with a web project directly off my development IIS 7 web server using .NET 4 and ran into this problem when debugging locally using the fileshare to that server:

The assembly with display name 'VJSharpCodeProvider' failed to load in the 'LoadFrom' binding context of the AppDomain with ID 3. The cause of the failure was: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'VJSharpCodeProvider, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

The compiler is looking for  J# which is technically no longer supported by Microsoft but you can find  the last released version here:

After installing the Microsoft Visual J# Version 2.0 Redistributable Package I no longer received this error.
