OWIN Startup class does not run in Web API 2

[ashish]

I am setting up Hangfire in an existing a Web API 2 app, and my Hangfire setup in Startup.cs is not being called.

How do I get this code to invoke? When I run it in an MVC 5 app, it seems to work.

• Do you host your Web API application in IIS?
• If yes, have you installed the Microsoft.Owin.Host.SystemWeb package?
