Setting up a Tentacle results in "System.MissingMethodException" on one server

I have been able to successfully install Octopus.Tentacle.2.3.6.1385-x64.msi on a few new VMs, but one particular VM results in errors when going through the setup stage.

A fatal exception occurred
System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: ‘Void Autofac.ContainerBuilder.Update(Autofac.IContainer, Autofac.Builder.ContainerBuildOptions)’.

Found out what the issue was - Autofac had been GACed sometime in the past by mistake. Once I removed Autofac from the GAC_MSIL the setup worked fine.
