You have to include Microsoft.Owin.Host.HttpListener.dll
in your project references.
You can add it through NuGet.
However, if the code executing:
WebApp.Start<SrvcHst> (...);
is contained within a class library, make sure that the executable consuming the library also includes the reference to Microsoft.Owin.Host.HttpListener.dll
, or else it would not get deployed with your program, as there are no explicit references to it from the class library.
Have a look at your bin/Debug
folder and make sure the DLL is there.
