Could not load file or assembly 'MicroFour StrataFrame Extensibility' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

I'm hoping the source of my problem is self-evident to you StrataFrame pro's. While attempting to deploy an web application (which runs successfully on a 32 bit Windows server) to a new box running Windows 2003 x64, I receive the following error.

Any advice appreciated....

Thank you, Ivan. I'll bet you've put me on the right trail and I'll work through the somewhat more involved process required to change that setting in IIS 6.0.

Edhy, it was kind of you to respond. Thank you.

I had, in fact, deployed the Extensibility.dll, so I must have some other issue. I'll perform the search you suggested.
