While playing around with Scala.Net today I ran into an interesting problem. I was trying to build some Scala code against an assembly built for x86 and I got an exception when I ran the executable:
Unhandled Exception: System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly […]. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format…
After a bunch of internet searches, and some help from Bill Wagner, I got this working. The executable needs to be set to run in 32 bit mode. This can be done with the corflags tool. corflags will exist in your path from a Visual Studio terminal. The trick is:
corflags <Executable name> /32Bit+
After that everything worked.
