Error in Importing "Interop.zkemkeeper.dll" to WCF Service

I have "WCF Service Application" which is .net framework 4.6.1. I need to add "Interop.zkemkeeper.dll" as a reference. but when I added this as reference to the WCF service and when service stated it shows following error on the browser.

Could you try change Platform target to x86?
Click Build button on the toolbar
Click Configuration Manager
Then set Plataform target to x86

attempting to access glimpse.axd and getting error

i've installed glimpse through console package manager by this
Install-Package Glimpse.EF6
Glimpse.EF6/1.6.5 is installed on system and added in preferences.
following 'http://getglimpse.com/Docs/' tutorial, when i try to access http://mylocalhost/Glimpse.axd it shows me error
"HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found
The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable."
searched for the solution and found something here.
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
this line is already there app-start. tried to add keys in web.config but that shows error
"Server Error in '/' Application.
Runtime Error
Description: An exception occurred while processing your request. Additionally, another exception occurred while executing the custom error page for the first exception. The request has been terminated. "
using IIS express. any help will be appreciated.
EDIT: i turned off the custom errors and found this is the actual problem when i try to add those lines in web.config.

IIS8: Could not load type 'System.ServiceModel.Activation.HttpModule'

There are lots of questions answering this, but none of the answers are working for me.
Originally, I was getting a 405 when I was trying to PUT or DELETE (probably other verbs too). Looking at some questions, the solution seemed to be to change the Handler Mappings.
I changed the following:
ExtensionlessUrlHandler-ISAPI-4.0_32bit
ExtensionlessUrlHandler-ISAPI-4.0_64bit
WebDAV
I noticed that the verbs were already in the One of the following verbs box, so in desperation I changed it to accept all verbs.
Now, I can't even load the webpage, let alone make any exotic requests like a DELETE, I immediately get a yellow screen of death:
Server Error in '/' Application.

So far I have:
Checked ASP.NET 4.5 is installed via Web PI
Running dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:IIS-ASPNET45
Running "%WINDIR%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation\ServiceModelReg.exe" -r
Running C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319>aspnet_regiis -I
More iisresets than I can could
Replacing the ServiceModel in the applicationHost.config:
<add name="ServiceModel" type="System.ServiceModel.Activation.HttpModule, System.ServiceModel, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" preCondition="managedHandler" />
replaced with:
<add name="ServiceModel" type="System.ServiceModel.Activation.HttpModule, System.ServiceModel, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" preCondition="managedHandler,runtimeVersionv4.0" />
What else can I do, or where should I be looking?
Thanks
Dave

you also have to activate servicemodel 4.0 with
dism /online /enable-Feature /all /FeatureName:WCF-HTTP-Activation45
and in de IIS manager (server -> feature -> modules)
check if you see servicemodel 4.0 and then remove servicemodel.

I had the same problem after installing Synfusion Essential Studio on my computer.
I resolved by performing the following steps:
Open IIS Manager console
On the Server panel go to Modules, features view
Make sure ServiceModule-4.0 is there. If it's not there, perform the steps prescribed above (1-6)
Remove ServiceModel module

Just thought this might help someone.
This error can occur when there are multiple versions of the .NET Framework on the computer that is running IIS, and IIS was installed after .NET Framework 4.0 or before the Service Model in Windows Communication Foundation was registered.
here is the link to resolve this.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh169179%28v=nav.71%29.aspx

This link works for me.
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/613812/Solve-IIS-Error-Could-not-load-type-System-Servi
You have to remove the ServerModel module and the svc-integrated handler.

Adding this to my application's web.config worked for me:
<system.webServer>
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">
<add name="ServiceModel-4.0" type="System.ServiceModel.Activation.ServiceHttpModule, System.ServiceModel.Activation, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" preCondition="managedHandler" />
</modules>
</system.webServer>

It is recommended to provide a fully specified textual identity for the assembly

The error I receive contains a link to MSDN here, but I cannot find an example of how to specify textual identity for the assembly.
I note that the full error indicates that it is looking int the wrong folder and also for a file with an uppercase .DLL . My file is creating with a lowercase .dll
Is there an example of how to provide a fully specified textual identity for an assembly?
Should I be trying to change the case of the .dll extension?
If I actually copy the .dll to the UI\bin\debug folder then I get a different error

Spot three errors:
Activator.CreateInstance needs the complete name of type to load it
it means that you must add namespace to the type name.
Chances are you have more than one class with that name in different namespaces then how it could figure out which one be loaded.
You want to create an instance of an Interface which is impossible.
ISyncHelper is an interface and you can not say:
var variable = new ISynchHelper()
It will cause compilation error, cause interfaces are just empty bodies and does not contain single line of implementation.
So evertime that you use reflection to do smething, be careful, cause the compiler can not help you and if something is supposed to go wrong, you'll face it in runtime, not in compile time.
Last error is due to that there is no reference to Synchronization project in UI which means that it will not copied to Bin folder of UI project.
You can do that by adding the Synchronization project to UI or just add a copy command to Synchronization project to be copied after build.
Good Luck :-)
