IIS vs. Windows Web Services Framework

Visual Studio throws this error when attaching the debugger or just debugging.

Unable to start debugging on the web server. Unrecognized error occurred in the Windows Web Services framework.

I bet your Application Pool is set to not Enable 32-bit Applications.

The setting is in the IIS > Application Pools > Advanced Settings > (General) > Enable 32-bit Applications

or if you know the $poolname, probs need to be admin to…

Import-Module WebAdministration;
Set-ItemProperty IIS:\AppPools\$poolName enable32BitAppOnWin64 true;
