Yeah - I tried that - but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. I went to the configuration manager in VS2010 and changed the platform to be x86 on all three projects and also changed the output option on all references to be copy local - but I am not sure how to check if this is working correctly (obviously it isn't as it still fails).
The Sync download page on MSDN indicates that x86 & x64 SDK's cannot be installed side by side - but you can install selected components (ie I assume dll's) from the x86 redistributable - maybe I need to do that - but will it clobber the x64 dll's ?

If you read the forum, it states that what worked for him was to compile an x86 version, not a x64 bit version. Can you try that?

Is anyone using the Sync Framework 2.1 I am having problems getting the sample project "Sync101 with Remote Change Application over WCF" - I am getting the a COM error due to incompatible dll's (running on a x64 laptop) System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException was unhandled Message=Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {F235D316-69DB-4918-8536-B8A008D93057} failed due to the following error: 80040154.

I have changed all references to be "copy local=true" & the platform & output on the build configuration to all be x64 - still fails, plus have also changed to all be x86 and still fails. In the end what I need is an example application for File & Database Syncing over an internet connection - this sample uses WCF Service with custom Sync Providers which implement a proxy. Should I use the Sync 4.0 CTP (which seems to sit on top of the Sync 2.1 anyway) Thanks for any help.

Looking at the sync framework home page (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sync/bb736753) I see that CTP 4.0 (from October 2010) is listed. Is this really the last update - that seems pretty ancient? Or is there codeplex type releases that I should be looking at instead. It look like an interesting technology for off line phone applications. Also thinking about it, does anyone on the list use it or a competing technology? -- regards, Preet, Overlooking the Ocean, Auckland
