When I compile my SharePoint 2007 solution on a 64-bit machine in Release mode and the platform set to AnyCPU or x86 I get the following error:
An attempt was made to load an assembly with an incorrect format: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\ISAPI\Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.dll.
When I use .Net Reflector on Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.dll it says the platform is set to x64. So I change my settings to Release mode and the platform to x64 and get the same error.
The strange thing is when I change Release to debug, It complies. Can anyone explain this?
I would prefer compiling with the settings Release/AnyCPU if its possible. Can anyone give me a push in the right direction?
Thanks
p.s. I also asked the question here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/netfx64bit/thread/21d14405-ca6f-4503-b416-f56bfb27168b/
I too have experienced this same issue, for me it seemed that my changes to the build configuration weren't actually taking. After several attempts at saving, reopening project, choosing build/rebuild, I was able to get it functioning after choosing "Clean" from the build options.

I'm trying to run an exe which calls Microsoft.ACE.oledb.12.0 but get the error "Provider not registered on local machine". There has been quite a lot about this error on Stackoverflow. Recommendations to correct this are to install AccessDatabaeEngine and compiling in x86. I've done both and although the path in project is set to x86 I suspect it is still compiling to 64 bit as VS continues to place the exe in that 64 bit folder. But I 'm at a lost as to how to correct this. Any one know how to fix this or confirm if the exe is 32 or 64 bit regardless of which folder it is placed in. Running vs2012 on windows 2012 server 64bit (Hyper-v)

ok...so this is what happened. I changed the cpu type to x86 on the project properties. Which did compile to 32bit but placed it in the incorrect folder. I confirmed this by opening the exe in notepad as there is a way to tell what type it is.
However, the debug version remained at 64 bit. The fix is to use the drop down list on the toolbar which says "Release" or "Debug" and set it to Configuration manager. In there set both the release and debug values to x86. This compiles it to x86 and puts it in the correct folder. I don't know how this is different but it now happily uses the 32 bit dll.
So I built a huge website for my company using the AnyCpu option. I didn't think it would matter - I have a 64bit machine with x64 windows, it's getting deployed to a x64 server, and there's no attached dll's, so it should just all be in 64, right?
Well, in the process of trying to implement some security, the company's support told us the application MUST be strictly x64. I figured it was, but to humor them, I went into the configuration manager, and changed all the target cpu, platform etc settings to x64.
Unfortunately now, it breaks when I hit f5 to run it. I've run into this before, I think, and I vaguely remember needing to delete some temp internet files somewhere, but I tried closing VS, deleting the bin folder, deleting the root folder from /framework/tempASPfiles... but I still get the BadImageFormatException - "an attempt was made to load the program with an incorrect format."
What's the best and fastest way to convert an app to x64? and am I right in thinking I need to delete some files somewhere?
I'm writing a console app for SharePoint 2013 on a 64-bit machine. I get this error when I try to execute the program:
"Microsoft SharePoint is not supported in 32-bit process. Please verify that you are running in a 64-bit executable."
Please let me know if you've had this problem in the past and can help. Thank you!
Have you checked the the properties for your project? (solution explorer, right click on the project, click on properties)
On the build tab check for that you select "Any CPU".
This worked for me:
In Visual Studio: TOOLS>OPTIONS>Projects and Solutions>WEB PROJECT and Use the 64 bit versions of IIS Express for web sites and projects
I hit this problem while running a Unit Test (well, an integration test in "Unit Test" clothing). Changing the target for the unit test project just made the tests disappear from the Test Explorer. It is possible to run your tests (at least in VS2013+) as an x64 environment.
In Visual Studio, choose Test > Test Settings > Default Processor Architecture > x64.

Sometimes, if "Prefer 32-bit" is greyed out, and your Platform Target is already "Any CPU", the problem is that IIS Express is not 32 bit.
The solution is to change the solution's web server to Local IIS.
This blog details the steps in more detail:
Platform Not supported Exception when running Visual Studio Web Application
What worked for me was changing a registry key:
HCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\WebProjects\Use64BitIISExpress
to 1, as shown here:

I got the same issue. The Build tab has the option Any CPU, but still it was not working.
I have selected explicitly x64 as the Platform target, and the application works fine :)
for me it was because of invalid reference to Microsoft.Shareppoint.dllafter migrating to SharePoint 2013 in a console application we used for some automation
just add below address of Microsoft.Shareppoint.dll
Correct
C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.dll
you can found this reference to this correct dll , after creating a empty SharePoint 2013 project in your UAT.
I was getting this error inside my Windows 2012 R2 UAT and Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 , when my reference was incorrectly to a dll found in GAC
Incorrect
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.SharePoint\v4.0_15.0.0.0__71e9bce111e9429c\Microsoft.SharePoint.dll
I followed the instructions in this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bt727f1t.aspx to install the remote debugger (2012) on my server where the application is running in hope to debug it remotely from my dev machine running visual studio 2012.
I cannot even get as far as viewing the list of processes to attach to on the remote machine. I keep getting "Unable to connect to the Microsoft Visual Studio Remote Debugging Monitor named [name]. Invalid access to memory location".
I have managed to successfully connect a few times but then the attach fails immediately then I cannot connect again.
This is causing huge issues for me as I cannot remote debug anything. I must be missing something glaring. Please someone give me a solution.
I've found the only way to correct this is by restarting Visual Studio.
Worked for me. I found it at this blog post about invalid access and remote debugging.
It turns out the one thing I missed was to tell Visual Studio where to find the .pdb symbols relating to the remote process. To do this go to Tools -> Options -> Debugging then in the Symbol (.pdb) locations add the remote location to the pdb files.
To clarify, I was attaching fine but could not break into code. Now I can. Be aware though that there are other hurdles before you get to my stage where I was attaching to the process successfully but could not catch a breakpoint.
I recently had someone else report this and debugged the issue on their machine. The "Invalid access to memory location" errors are due to an issue in Windows, it can be addressed with this hotfix.
I have had this problem in VS 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2017. Based on other answers it is likely that the problem is related to running a 32 bit version of Visual Studio on a 64 bit PC. Sometimes, as others have recommended, restarting Visual Studio fixes the problem but the best solution I've found so far is to start Visual Studio without a solution, open Debug -> Attach to Process, change the Connection Target to the remove server and wait for the process list to load. Then Cancel, do not attach yet. Load your desired solution and then come back to Attach to Process and the remote process list will still be loaded. Connect to your desired process and everything should work properly from then on.
I've developed an application in VS 2003 (C++). But while running in a fresh windows xp machine, getting error:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program:
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way....
What will be the reason for getting this error and how can I solve it? Please help.
This is a very generic error so it is not easy to solve from this information but I can give you a few things to try.
First check that the program runs fine on your developer machine - if not run under the debugger and trap the specific error.
If this problem only occurs on the clean machine it probably does not have the correct runtimes installed.
Your application will depend on a number of dlls that ship with visual studio, you will need to install these on the clean machine.
Your can run depends.exe from http://www.dependencywalker.com/ this will tell you what dlls cannot be found.
These dlls will be on your developer machine, you can either package the yourself in an installer or find the correct redistributable from microsoft.
Another thing to check - have you hardcoded any file locations? e.g. your application could try and open a file, resource, registry key - something that does not exist in your clean machine - if the code does not check for failure you would then probably crash at some point after the read failed to happen.
