Hello, I have this same problem.

I also got an error identified on line:

<add assembly="MySql.Data, Version=6.6.5.0, Culture=neutral,
   PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d" />

And when I copied the dlls into the bin directory I got the same error
as you:

Could not load file or assembly 'MySql.Data' or one of its
dependencies. This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the
currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded

What all did you do to fix it (if it's fixed)?

In phpMyAdmin it says I have Software version 5.5.15 of mysql on the
web server. I proceeded to try and find 5.5.15 to download to my pc so
I could reference it in VS 2008 and make any adjustments.
Using https://www.herongyang.com/MySQL/MySQL-5-5-Installation.html
I followed the directions for 5.5.15 and ended up with 5.5.32 which
I assume is the 32 bit version.  According to the directions
I successfully installed everything but there are no dlls in the
mysql\bin folder and I couldn't find the MySql.Data.Dll for this older
version.
