Hi friends,

I had created a windows service in layered architecture.Then I installed it in the command prompt(not in the Visual Studio Command Prompt)using the command "Installutil"
I got the error "Could not load file or assembly +"path name" +or one of it's dependencies.An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format"
Can anybody help me...

Make sure that the service's DLL and all dependent DLLs are compiled with the same target type (ie 32 or 64 bit).

Thankyou very much...I also sorted out another problem along with this.My system didnot have local administration rights & that was also an another cause.Moreover I have changed the Windows Service project's platform target into "Any CPU" which supports all the target types as u had mentioned.
