help with service on win 2003 server x64

[Sedgehog]

hi

I am having a problem getting my web service to run on server 2003 x64. The
web service uses some dlls and these are 32-bit dlls. When running the web
method which uses these dlls, I get the follwing error

An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

Does anyone have any ideas as to the solution of this. I have tried making
the assembly 32bit using corflags, but then the web service doesnt
initialise.

I have spent a lot of time on this to no avail, please help

Thanks for the reply DJ Heap. Although this information was useful, I have
already configured my system this way. When I switch to 32bitapponwin64 the
service will not run. It says "Service Unavailable".

I have found a work around in that I no longer use the dlls. I have
integrated what I need to do from the dlls into the web service directly and
what I cant do, I will do manually.

Thanks.
