Question

I have a windows application and using cheetah for config transformations i.e app.config.debug, app.config.test, etc.,

When the project is built in debug mode , it works fine but when teamcity change the mode to test configuration and try to rebuild getting the following error:

/platform:anycpu32bitpreferred can only be used with /t:exe, /t:winexe and /t:appcontainerexe

Can anyone please help me how to fix this?

Open the project file with the text editor. Find the line <Prefer32Bit>true</Prefer32Bit> and change the value "true" to "false". There might be more than one depending how many different configurations have been set up.
