XCOPY/Publish ASP.NET 3.5 Website in x86 onto a 64-bit Server

I have a ASP.NET "website" which uses a 32-bit dll. When I XCOP开发者_高级运维Y to our 64-bit server, the page which uses this 32-bit dll throws an exception. I've already set the "Enable 32-Bit Applications" to True for the App Pool the site runs on but that doesn't help.

I'm also trying to set the target platform to x86 but the Website has no option for it unlike a Web app.

Here's the stack trace -

I did an online search for the exception "Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {58968145-CF05-4341-995F-2EE093F6ABA3} failed due to the following error: 80040154." and enabled the 32-bit mode on IIS7 but still no luck.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

** ANSWER ** I was able to fix this issue with the help from user Kev. Here's what I did -

1. Download Microsoft Developer Support OLE File Property Reader 2.1 Sample (KB 224351) from here
2. Extract the contents to a temp folder using WinZip/7-zip etc. Don't run the Setup. Copy the files "Interop.DSOFile.dll" and "dsofile.dll" from the extracted location over to the bin directory of the app on the Server.
3. Open a cmd prompt with Admin rights and navigate to the bin directory on the Server
4. Type in "regsvr32 dsofile.dll"
5. Make sure the App Pool is set to Enable 32-Bit applications.
6. Restart IIS

Thank you very much, Kev. I really appreciate it.

This sounds like the COM component isn't registered on the server. You need to copy the component (dsofile.dll) to the server and run regsvr32.exe to register it:

regsvr32 dsofile.dll

You also need to make sure that the account that the website runs under has read access to this file or its containing folder.

It might also be worth trying building your project and changing the build to target x86 instead of Any CPU, though I doubt that's the problem.

You probably need to set the application pool the app is running in to run as x86.
