asp.net web api - Ninject dependency for Ninject.Web.WebApi.OwinHost v3.2.x -

i'm attempting ninject apicontrollers in azure worker role. i've accomplished ninjection same controllers in asp.net mvc 5 / web api 2 project in same solution. non ninjected test controller in workerrole project work , serve expected results.

while attempting add nuget package ninject.web.webapi.owinhost (version 3.2.x) looks package ?erroneously? requiring ninject version ≥ 3.0.0.0 && < 3.1.0.0

i've tried

install-package ninject.web.webapi.owinhost -projectname workerrole1 install-package ninject.web.webapi.owinhost -pre -projectname workerrole1 install-package ninject.web.webapi.owinhost -version 3.2.0 -projectname workerrole1 install-package ninject.web.webapi.owinhost -version 3.2.1-unstable-002 -projectname workerrole1 

i able add ninject.web.webapi.selfhost, believe need owin flavor , selfhost didn't appear install ninjectwebcommon.cs or equivalent. don't know wire ninject owin self host in worker role once successful @ including owinhost. i'm assuming scaffold-ed in.

result of attempting install ninject.web.webapi.owinhost

probably unrelated in checking versions of installed package in workerrole note number of packages iis specific. these needed in azure workerrole owin self host? , microsoft.aspnet.webapi.selfhost see following notation yet have microsoft.aspnet.webapi.owinselfhost installed.

this legacy package hosting asp.net web api within own process (outside of iis). please use microsoft.aspnet.webapi.owinselfhost package new projects.

i know late, ran same problem , found question via google search. got around -dependencyversion:

install-package ninject.web.webapi.owinhost -dependencyversion highest 

if don't want update of dependent nuget packages, found manually installing of ninject-related dependencies ninject.web.webapi.owinhost , installing ninject.web.webapi.owinhost got around issue.
