Thanks
I am referencing a third party logging assembly. I suspect that it is 32 bit and that is my problem. I have asked the vendor if they can provide a 64 bit release.

If so make sure they are also installed or they are compatible with x64.

This will be hosted in a virtual instance of windows server 2008 r2, presumably running IIS 7.5 or better. The server will have 6 cores and 36 GB of memory. It will run 3 virtual web servers each will be bound to 2 cores and have 1/3 of the memory allocated. The system administrator has requested that the web service be 64 bit. The WCF service library is set with a Platform Target of 'Any CPU.' If I set this to x64, did clean and rebuild, it does this ok. The IIS web site chucks a fit however and gives me this error Error 2 Could not load file or assembly 'PathWestDirectServiceLibrary' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. I removed the web site and created it anew and added my wcf service library but it still does not like an assembly that targets x64. If I change it back to AnyCPU its happy with the format. Looks like I am stuck with it being set to AnyCPU. I am developing on Windows 7 64 bit. Is what I am doing just not possible. Any reason why?
