Hi there,

Recently I've downloaded the GD Library (bgd.dll 2.0.35 version) and used in my ASP.NET 3.5 project. On my personal computer I have installed Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bits and everything works OK. My project is sucesfully using this library along with other two libraries GD-Import.dll and GD-Sharp.dll that i have downloaded from http://gd-sharp.sourceforge.net/.

The problem is that the hosting server is using Windows Server 2008 64 bits edition. When I try to use the GD Library an error occurs:

System.BadImageFormatException: An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)
   at Ntx.GD.GDImport.gdImageCreate(Int32 width, Int32 height)
   at Ntx.GD.GD..ctor(Int32 width, Int32 height, Boolean trueColor)
   at CAPTHCA.createCAPTCHAImage(Int32 _width, Int32 _height, Double _noiseDotsDensity, Double _noiseLinesDensity, String _code)
   at CAPTHCA.getCaptcha(String& _c)
   at inscriere.generateCaptcha()
   at System.Web.Util.CalliHelper.EventArgFunctionCaller(IntPtr fp, Object o, Object t, EventArgs e)
   at System.Web.Util.CalliEventHandlerDelegateProxy.Callback(Object sender, EventArgs e)
   at System.Web.UI.Control.OnLoad(EventArgs e)
   at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive()
   at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)

From the error message it is clearly that the error occurs when the application is trying to acccess the GDImport.gdImageCreate(Int32 width, Int32 height) function from bgd.dll library.

My question is: is there a library release for 64 bits Windows ? If not, how can I use this library (bgd.dll) with a 64 bits Windows operating system ?

Sorry for my poor english and hope to help me solving this problem.

Thanks.
