I have already made sure that asp.net is installed as suggested in other posts I've come across.

Answer 1

You can also run iisnode in 32 bit application pools on 64 bits systems by installing iisnode in WOW mode. Follow the instructions at https://github.com/tjanczuk/iisnode/issues/42#issuecomment-2791929.

Answer 2

This error was caused by having "Enable 32-bit applications" set to True in the IIS Application Pool settings. Set this to False - problem solved.

Answer 3

Ahem, cough, also remember to actually install iisnode Doh!
