run WindowsService in x86 mode on a 64bit Server 2003

[Guest]

Hi all

I have written a WindowsService in C# 2005.
I am running this service on a 64bit Windows Server 2003
and I like to run some Interop.Excel within this service.

It seams that Interop does not run in 64bit mode ...
I have tried to compile the service as x86 but it does not help,
the service is still running in 64bit mode ...

Does anybody know something about a issue like this??
Would be happy for any comment !

Best regards

Set the build option "Platform target" to X86. The default is Any CPU, which
means, run as 64 bit on a 64 bit OS and 32 bit on a 32 bit OS.

Sorry, works for me. Are you sure it runs in 64 bit mode?
