Could not load assembly “Microsoft.BizTalk.Interop.SSOClient, Ver=5.0.1.0” after BTS2013 upgrade

After successfully upgrading an existing BTS2010 and SSO installation to BTS2013 we found a custom pipeline component failing with the following error in the event log after some initial testing.

After reviewing the component source code, a reference to the Microsoft.BizTalk.Interop.SSOClient v5.0.1.0 assembly was found. Instead of recompiling the the solution using VS2012 and having to redeploying,  I decided to redirect the assembly version in the BizTalk config files BTSNTSvc.exe.config and BTSNTSvc64.exe.config.

Below is the assembly binding information that was placed between the existing <runtime> tags.

<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" appliesTo="v4.0.30319">
   <dependentAssembly>
      <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.BizTalk.Interop.SSOClient"
                        publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35"
                        culture="neutral" />
      <bindingRedirect oldVersion="5.0.1.0"
                       newVersion="7.0.2300.0"/>
   </dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
