Windows Azure: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.Cache'

1

I'm trying to debug a ASP MVC application in the Windows Azure Compute emulator and I'm getting the following error before the application starts. My configuration is the following:

  • Windows 8 x64
  • Windows Azure Compute emulator (debugging local)
  • IIS express (this is important since the error is thrown by this process)

I have read some other posts and some other more, and the problem seems to be a x68/x64 compatibility problem.

The solution in this post is configure IIS to allow 32 bits applications, but I don't know how to configure IIS Express to do it.

Here is the detailed error:

Server Error in '/' Application.

 Assembly Load Trace: The following information can be helpful to determine why the assembly 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.Cache' could not be loaded.

=== Pre-bind state information ===
LOG: User = TITANIUM\Administrator
LOG: DisplayName = Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.Cache
 (Partial)
WRN: Partial binding information was supplied for an assembly:
WRN: Assembly Name: Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.Cache | Domain ID: 2
WRN: A partial bind occurs when only part of the assembly display name is provided.
WRN: This might result in the binder loading an incorrect assembly.
WRN: It is recommended to provide a fully specified textual identity for the assembly,
WRN: that consists of the simple name, version, culture, and public key token.
