BadImageFormatException debugging web site running in x64 mode

Question

There are a lot of questions on this forum about the BadImageFormatException, but none quite matches my issue.

I have a solution containing several projects. When I run in Debug or Release + Any CPU, everything works fine. When I switch to x64, however, and run my ASP.NET MVC project, I get the infamous BadImageFormatException

Could not load file or assembly 'AgileEFLib' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

AgileEFLib is an in-house utility library, so I have plenty flexibility with that. But the really weird thing is that when I run a console app that also has a dependency on AgileEFLib, it works perfectly. The only time it fails is when I run the web site.

I have checked that all projects in the Release|x64 configuration are set to compile as x64.

What else can I do to troubleshoot this?

EDIT: Another useful bit of information is that this problem only occurs when I'm debugging using Visual Studio's IIS Express. When I publish and deploy to IIS, it works fine.

EDIT: more details about the error:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Try to follow the instructions from Debugging VS2013 Websites Using 64-bit IIS Express:

If you are working on ASP.NET MVC web sites in Visual Studio 2013 (VS2013), you need to make one registry change if you want to run IIS Express as a 64-bit process by default. Use one of the methods, below.

Command-Line:

reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\WebProjects /v Use64BitIISExpress /t REG_DWORD /d 1
