Error installing Find on 7.0 site

Yesterday I found myself in the position to install EPiServer Find on a CMS 7 site but following the eminent blog from Ted I ran in to some issues. When getting the Nuget package I also got the updated CMS dll;s as Find has a dependency to it. When starting up the site I was hit with the YSOD telling me the following:

Error when creating the EPiServer.Configuration.Settings.All list: The <episerver> configuration section could not be found in the configuration file [ConfigurationErrorsException: Error when creating the EPiServer.Configuration.Settings.All list: The <episerver> configuration section could not be found in the configuration file]
   EPiServer.Configuration.EPiServerSection.GetAndValidateSection(Configuration config)
.....

After some hair pulling and some digging around with Reflector I could see that EPi was loading the old EPiServer.Configuration.dll. And looking a the web.config I could see that not all my assembly redirects had been updated. So doing this manually fixed the problem.

  <dependentAssembly>
    <assemblyIdentity name="EPiServer.Configuration" publicKeyToken="8fe83dea738b45b7" culture="neutral" />
    <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-7.0.586.1" newVersion="7.0.586.24" />
  </dependentAssembly>


Just wanted to share incase anyone else ever found themselves in the same situation.
