TypeMock was working on 32-bit build server with MSBuild now failing on all 64-bit build servers

I had been corresponding directly with TypeMock, but they have gone silent, so I was hoping maybe to get some support by posting on their Q/A page

We were running our TypeMock test on our TFS build servers with msbuild without any issue. They were 32-bit servers. We started adding 64-bit servers. I noticed the same build would fail on these servers and pass on the 64-bit servers.

We are using TypeMock 6.0.2.

We have now obsoleted all of our 32-bit build servers and the type-mock failure we are having is a show-stopper.

Again the issue is that running TypeMock start prior to tests being executed worked perfectly on the 32-bit systems. We did nothing different on the 64-bit system, so it is strange that the error seems to indicate that typemock is not running. Again the scripts that we run are “EXACTLY” them same as those passing on the 32-bit system.

 

Once again we run TypeMockStart just before executing the tests (see snippet from buildlog.txt results), but for some reason TypeMock doesn’t think it is running.

In the TFSBuild.proj file the following was defined;
