Solution 1

You might be using some assemblies in your project that are specifically targeted to x86. In that case you can not set the target platform of your project as x64. It must be x86. Note that most x86 applications also runs on x64 platform ( remember some applications like Microsoft Ink Analyzers don't). So in case of such dependency issues, it is fine to set the target assembly to x86.

Thanks for comments ! The problem is when I build it with X86, it works fine. But the bootstrapper of the application, which needs to install SQL Server Express gives error that the version of SQL Exp. is not compatible with your machine.
