Answer 1

In the IIS Manager (inetmgr.msc), find the app pool controling your application, and go to Advanced properties. flip "Enable 32bit Applications" to True. that should do ya. consider creating a new app pool for this purpose if the one you have is shared by multiple applications.

Answer 2

You need to run 32bit components in a 32bit app pool, or ensure that when you publish to a 64bit machine you use 64bit components.
