New Post: ImageMagick.NET – appears to have Failed to load embedded x64 assembly when using anycpu package

I suspect the x64 assembly is failing to load.

Actually, the error I am seeing is in the Event Viewer:
Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.
Exception Info: System.IO.FileNotFoundException
Stack:
at ImageMagick.MagickImage.DisposeInstance()
at ImageMagick.MagickImage.Finalize()

Developing with VS2015 vb.net forms application on a 32bit windows 7 machine. Deploying to a 64bit windows 2008 R2 server. In my application I am using the magick.net-q16-anycpu package. This works fine locally, but I get the exception above on the server.

• Also, note, on the server I have installed both the 32bit and 64bit C++ Redistributable
  

Also, I can get it to work on the server if I replace the magick.net anycpu package with the 64bit package. Obviously this is fine for the server, but I can’t run or debug locally.

Any tips on getting the anycpu version to work both locally and on the server?

Thanks.
