Hi there,

I've written a Windows Service, built for x64 release platform and have a
setup project for the solution. The binary and the setup projects are built
by VS2005.

When I run the setup.exe on a Windows 2003 R2 Ent. Server (x64), it gives
the following error during installation:

===
Exception occurred while initializing the installation:
System.BadImageFormatException : Attempted to load a 64-bit assembly on a
32-bit platform. Use ReflectionOnlyLoad() instead if trying to load for
reflection purposes.
===

The setup project was created in VS2003 and then migrated to VS2005.

Is there any hint for solving the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Steve

Do you mean literally that setup.exe is giving this message, or is it during
the MSI install?
The TargetPlatform is x64 in your setup project's properties?
