OK. I was able to change my project platform from X64 to x86. That might at least tell my VS2008 console application to run in 32 bit mode. However now I get this error:
FileNotFoundException was unhandled The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E) Seems like progress at least but this error occurred again on the .Login step of my code again. Does this mean the BMC.ARSystem.DLL is not registered properly to .NET? I did reference it in the "Add Reference" window and ran the regasm for it (under Framework not Framework64) and it seemed to setup properly from that.

On a 64-bit OS, it will run a 64-bit version of the CLR by default. When it runs in the 64-bit CLR and then tries to load the 32-bit native DLLs, it generates this error, because you can't use a 32-bit DLL in a 64-bit process. If you are using a full version of Visual Studio (that is, not VS Express), you can set a build option that tells it to add a flag in the application that tells Windows to run it using the 32-bit CLR instead - you need to do that if you want to run it on a 64-bit OS. If you are building it with Visual Studio Express, that option is not available, so the application will always run using the 64-bit CLR on 64-bit machines, generating this error. You might be able to get around that if you're brave enough to figure out all the command line arguments to the compiler necessary to build the application, add the corresponding argument to the list and build it manually instead of within VS... Unfortunately, I'm not certain anymore what the option is, but I think it might be related to architecture or something. I can look it up again, if you're not able to find it. It took me a fair bit of looking before I found the relevant option and discovered that I couldn't use it, because I'm using VS Express... I hope that helps a little. In any case, that's the cause of what you're seeing. Lyle From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Lammey, Peter A.

However, when I tried the API connection to our Remedy BMC 7.01 server using the code I found on it we keep receiving this error: {" is not a valid Win32 application. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800700C1)"} This error occurs from this .NET code (highlighted in green below:) Public Function GetRemedyObject(ByVal pRemedyServer As String, ByVal pRemedyUID As String, ByVal pRemedyPWD As String, ByVal pRemedyPort As String, ByVal pRemedyRPCProgramNum As String) As BMC.ARSystem.Server Call objArSystemPub.Login(pRemedyServer, pRemedyUID, pRemedyPWD, "") Call objArSystemPub.SetServerPort(Microsoft.VisualBasic.Conversion.Int(pRemedyPort), Microsoft.VisualBasic.Conversion.Int(pRemedyRPCProgramNum)) GetRemedyObject = objArSystemPub Return objArSystemPub End Function Does anyone in the list have any ideas what might be causing this error? We have run through and added system environment variables for LIB and PATH and added to the PATH variable where the API files are (that were downloaded from the ARAPI75.NET.ZIP) and restarted the server but still no luck. Is there other steps that need to be followed that will correct this error?
