Could not load file or assembly while running in IIS 7.0 on a 64 bit OS

Question

I am trying to host a web application in a Windows 2008R2 server on IIS7.0 which is 64 bit. I had been running my application on IIS 5.1 XP machine which is 32 bit. I have my dlls built with the 'x86' option and also I have enabled "Enable 32 bit applications" to True and also set the managed pipeline to Classic in the application pool of my webservice.

Now I get the following message

Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Web.Services2, Version=2.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=****(some value)' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Can someone tell me why this happens ?

Answer 1

Can you set your DLLs to build with the AnyCPU option and report what happens?
