Please search the forums as there have been many questions on this same issue.

Rebuild the application as an x86 application instead of AnyCPU or X64.

Run IIS in 32 bit instead of 64 bit mode.

Running the IIS in 32-bit mode won't solve the issue.

We need to run the application in 64-bit mode.

Isn't there any solution so that the application can be run in 64-bit mode?

Please help..

Depends on version of CR you are using. Only CR 10.2 (bundles with .NET 2005) and CR 10.5 (bundles with .NET 2-008) are 64 bit. This is covered ad nauseam in these forums, a number of notes in our [notes database|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/advancedsearch?cat=sdn_ossnotes&query=&adv=true] and the article Jason sent a link to. I really don't know what more you are looking for(?). With all due respect, I am pretty sure that asking these questions over and over and over will not change the reality of the situation...

Thanks, the problem got resolved compiling to target as 32-bit and installing 32-bit merge modules.
