I wanted to drop a little update regarding some upcoming changes, specifically in regards to our classic web applications (Dovetail Agent, Dovetail Admin, and Dovetail SelfService) operating in a 64-bit environment. If you’re not running one of those web apps in a 64-bit environment, then don’t sweat this post – head off and read something more interesting :) Currently, we require our classic web apps to run in a 32-bit mode. Why? Because the Dovetail SDK is currently 32-bit only but that will change with SDK version 3.0. Update: 3/28/2012: Now that Dovetail SDK 3.0 has been released (which supports both 32 and 64-bit COM objects), I wanted to drop a little update here. Dovetail Agent 4.5 can now be run in 64-bit mode. This requires the 64-bit version of SDK (version 3.0 or higher) be installed. Dovetail Admin (any version) can…

In the past I wrote on how we are doing integration testing of a web services using the WebDev.WebHost assembly. This technique has found its way into Dovetail Seeker and is really handy to do an end to end test against a live web server. I ran into trouble running the tests now that I am running a 64bit OS. You get this error when trying to spin up the test web server: An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. It turns out the WebDev.WebHost assembly is flagged as a 32bit which forces it to be run only within a 32bit version of the framework. In my build automation nunitconsole.exe is the test runner and it is likely flagged as Any CPU and thus running in 64bit mode by default. After checking out Scott Hanselman’s post…
