Runtime error only when running in Compute Emulator


I have a runtime error which is occurring only when I run my web application in the Compute Emulator:

Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Profiler' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

enter image description here

I do not get this error when running the web application normally in IIS.

SDK version: 2.0

Where do I start to fix this problem?


Solution

  • I would love an explanation for this.

    I had to manually delete Microsoft.VisualStudio.Profiler.dll from my bin directory. I don't know how it got there and there was nothing referencing it (I used NDepend to check this). Once removed, I stopped getting the error. Cleaning didn't remove the dll.
