Starting service reveals error

[Roman Bengl]

Got my tobii C4 today and made a small commandline app with C# that works as planned.
But ofcourse it only works as long as the commandlinewindow is focused, so I decided to convert it to a service.

As soon as I want to start the service I get an error with the dependency towards the EyeXFramework:

System.BadImageFormatException: Die Datei oder Assembly “EyeXFramework, Version=1.8.498.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=70326046dcdce6cb” oder eine Abhängigkeit davon wurde nicht gefunden. Es wurde versucht, eine Datei mit einem falschen Format zu laden.

I only started learning C# today and how to make services, so I don’t know what I missed. The service is compiled as x64, I use Visualstudio 2017 Community on Windows 10

OK, I got the service to run, I had to make sure all dlls and the service where compiled for the correct architecture.

I have compiled them in x86(that’s was the first that worked)

but now the event for the gazeStrem won’t fire. Here is the Code

using (var lightlyFilteredGazeDataStream = eyeXHost.CreateGazePointDataStream(GazePointDataMode.LightlyFiltered))
                {
                    WriteToFile("Gazestream");
                    // Start the EyeX host.
                    try
                    {
                        eyeXHost.Start();
                    }
                    catch (Exception e)
                    {
                        WriteToFile("eyeXHost failed " + e.Message);
                    }
                    WriteToFile("EyeXHost started");

                    try
                    {
                        lightlyFilteredGazeDataStream.Next += (s, e) => WriteToFile("Gazestream vals: " + e.X + " - " + e.Y);
                    }
                    catch (Exception e)
                    {
                        WriteToFile("GazeDataStream " + e.Message);
                    }
                    // Let it run until a key is pressed.

                }

The WriteToFile outputs get generated, but the lightlyFilteredGazeDataStream.Next doesn’t seem to fire.
