We recently had a customer contact us with problems getting ZNode Storefront running in full 64-bit mode. In order to precompile an ASP.net application DotNet type reflects the bin folder assemblies. In the case of a 64 bit library being run on a 32 bit machine this will result in a failure to compile. See the following posts for more background:

Our tested solution for this issue is to simply compile directly on a 64 bit windows machine using the aspnet_compiler in the Framework64 folder.

Another option may be to compile on a 32 bit server with AnyCPU as the platform build type. Then once the site has been deployed to the 64 bit system replace all the Znode.* libraries in the web\bin folder with X64 targeted binaries. The Web code should automatically work in 64 bit mode because AnyCPU was targeted and the library dependencies will be set as 64 bit. Note that this approach has not been tested so your mileage may vary.
