I created a simple WCF application. The platform is set to Any CPU. I can build and run the application successfully. But when I change the platform to x64 I get the following error:
Failed to add a service. Service metadata may not be accessible. Make sure your service is running and exposing metadata
My system has 64 bit OS. Actually i have to set the platform to x64 to laod a dll in my app. What would be the possible reasons for this error. Please help me.
I am using IIS Express.

Error: Cannot obtain Metadata from http://xxxxxxx/WcfService1/Service1.svc. If this is a Windows (R) Communication Foundation service to which you have access, please check that you have enabled metadata publishing at the specified address.
Metadata endpoints are similar to other service endpoints in that they have an address, a binding, and a contract, and they can be added to a service host through configuration or in code. To enable publishing metadata endpoints, you must add the ServiceMetadataBehavior service behavior to the service.
Inside Visual StudioAfter you create a new WCF service project and press F5 to start the debugger, the WCF Service Host begins to host the service in your project. Then, WCF Test Client opens and displays a list of service endpoints defined in the configuration file.
When using IIS Express and VS2013, you need to check the following option in VS Options when debugging x64 web project:
Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions -> Web Projects -> Use the 64 bit version of IIS Express for web sites and projects
