I'm not sure if this should be here or in the DirectX section, but here goes.

I'm using Visual Basic.NET 2005 Express

I have program that uses Managed DirectX 9.0c on the December 2005 Update; however, the .NET Framework v2.0 MDX modules are not complete, and only one is released, I am trying to use the v1.1 MDX modules. I am using XP x64 and for some reason the code is combiled for x64, but the MDX v1.1 binarys do not have an x64 version, so I want to use WOW64 to run the x86 versions.

When I run the program it does one of two things, either no code in my Form_Load is executed, or I get an error message ' is not a valid win32 application.'

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
 
Not sure about the Express edition but VS 2005 allows you to define different configurations from the build menu - from there you can select the target architecture.
 
For the express editions I believe that if you want to target a specific architecture, you need to download the express version specific to that architecture. Don't quote me on that though.
