### What You Are Seeing?

When I try to run ```choco``` or ```choco --version``` or ```choco list``` after I upgraded from chocolatey 1.40 to 2.0.0 chocolatey does not see to start up at all. All I get is a single line of output saying:
```
Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.
```
I will include the .NET framework install-info from that Windows server 2016 install.
