WCF wrapper COM object

Question

I have a third party COM component (they don't offer a .Net assy), that has the additional feature that it only works under x86 compile.

I am trying to wrap this in a WCF service, but if I select x86, the service won't start (System.BadImageFormatException).

Any workarounds for this ?

Thanks Larry
