IIS 7.5 Fixing An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format problem?

Question

I have a unusual problem throwing an exception \"An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format\" error? I have two identical websites on the same IIS server

Answer 1

Found the problem - The solution is in the way that the two AppPools are configured:

• Default Website/my_app is using DefaultAppPool where Enable 32-Bit applications is TRUE
• Beta/my_app -> BetaAppPool is using Enable 32-Bit applications is FALSE

Changing BetaAppPool to set Enable 32-Bit applications to TRUE has fixed this problem.
