I tried to give permission to temporary file, give permission to everyone on iis folder and Temporary file,

It seems to be a file-system permissions error as indicated by
[FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'AjaxControlToolkit' or one of its dependencies. Access is denied.]
The documentation, says you need to give the following file-system permissions to the following users/user-groups.
Inetpub\Adminscripts Administrators Full control
Inetpub\wwwroot (or content directories) Administrators Full control
Inetpub\wwwroot (or content directories) System Full control
Inetpub\wwwroot (or content directories) IIS_WPG Read, execute
Inetpub\wwwroot (or content directories) IUSR_MachineName Read, execute
Inetpub\wwwroot (or content directories) ASPNET Read, execute

I'm not really sure what am I missing here, or if there is any way to get more/better logs.
The odd thing is that this GraphicsMagick error just happens on my Production environment (Development and Pre-production work OK). I compared (IIS mostly) configurations, side by side, feature by feature and saw now difference.
Whenever I launch the site from VS2013 (64-bit IIS Express), it also works well.
Environment
Application Pool:
Framework: v4
Enable 32-Bit Applications: false
IIS: 7.5
Ok, the problem was that we had not installed Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio as GraphicsMagick's codeplex page clearly indicates... Thanks ProcessMonitor for your help!
BTW, I would have expected that Fusion logs produce all assembly loading related traces/errors, but that is not the case.

Could not load file or assembly '[Website]' or one of its dependencies. Access is denied

My apologies if this has been answered in the past. I have searched high and low for an answer, but none of the suggestions on previous posts fixed my problem. That is why I am posting this question.
I am converting a web service that previously ran under 2003/IIS6 to 2008 R2/IIS7. I am new to 2008 R2/IIS7 so my apologies if it is a simple fix that I am not familiar with.
I created a custom Application Pool called ILXQuoteServer, but modeled it after the Classic .Net Application Pool so all configurations in both pools match.
When I got the above error, I reset all the application permissions to use [local host]\network services and gave [local host]\network services read/execute/list permissions on the web service folder.
However, none of these fixes worked. Here's the full error. Hopefully, it's a simple fix.
Thanks.

When i create a C# project which use 'p4dn.dll' there isn't this error coming across.
this is my first ASP project, i also read the similar questions like "http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41449/i-get-a-an-attempt-was-made-to-load-a-program-with-an-incorrect-format-error-o" and "http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1648213/could-not-load-file-or-assembly-xxx-or-one-of-its-dependencies-an-attempt-was". They cannot address my problem.
how can I solve this problem?
There is now a menu option to run the 64bit version of IIS Express.
From Visual Studio menu select Tools -> Options... -> Projects and Solutions -> Web Projects
Click the button for "Use the 64 bit version of IIS Express for web sites and projects"
Go to Respective ==> Site Application Pool ,
Click on ==> Advance Settings
Change value of ==> "Enable 32-Bit Applications" from False to True
I had this same error message trying to run (debug) a 64-bit MVC site using IIS Express 8.0. I verified that all my projects were targetting the x64 Platform.
The problem was occurring because Visual Studio runs the 32-bit version of IIS Express. The only way I could get it to work was to run the 64-bit IIS Express by executing the following command manually.
"C:\Program Files\IIS Express\iisexpress.exe" /config:"U:\IISExpress\config\applicationhost.config" /site:"Imaging.Web" /apppool:"Clr4IntegratedAppPool"
Then in your Visual Studio web project go to Properties, select "Use Custom Web Server", and enter the url to your site.
In order to Debug, go to debug > Attach to Process.. and then select your running IIS Express instance.
The Visual Studio team really should make this an option in the Project Properties.
-create a new IIS pool for your web site
-Enable 32bit for this pool

This is because ,your project is trying to use a 32-bit dll in a 64-bit environment(azure)
To solve this type of issues ,create a start up script with the below given commands
Copy below startup script to a text file and save as "setup.cmd" .
Then include this file into your web role project,set "copy local"=true
then open your ServiceDefinition.csdef below given startup command inside webrole tag
<webrole > --your webrole
<Startup>
<Task commandLine="setup.cmd" executionContext="elevated" />
</Startup>
</webrole >
start up script pasted below:
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config -section:system.applicationHost/applicationPools /applicationPoolDefaults.enable32BitAppOnWin64:"True" /commit:apphost
I resolved this issue by removig the respective DLL from the bin folder of my asp.net web project.
Thanks and regards,
I resolved this by setting the Enable 32-Bit applications option to True in the Advanced Settings of the application pool which the site used.
BadImageFormat Exception is almost always a problem between a 32bit dll trying to load up a 64bit dll or a DLL or executable is loaded as a 64-bit assembly, but it contains 32-bit features or resources.
Try compiling your application down to x86 or vice versa and let me know how that works

Could not load file or assembly 'Interop.EDOfficeLib' or one of its dependencies

I've faced with this problem when deploying the web site on Windows Server 2008 x64. I don't have any idea. Can anyone help me?
Could not load file or assembly 'Interop.EDOfficeLib' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

WRN: Partial binding information was supplied for an assembly:
WRN: Assembly Name: Interop.EDOfficeLib | Domain ID: 2
WRN: A partial bind occurs when only part of the assembly display name is provided.

You are running your application written for AnyCPU on a 64bit operating system and one or more of your referenced assemblies is not compiled/available for an x64 system.
The first solution is to recompile your application for x86 platform.
The second solution is to distribute a specific x64 version of the EDOfficeLib
I have to add that in addition my problem can be solved by the following way: Should set an Enable 32-Bit Applications parameter to True on an Advanced Settings panel of an Application Pool. (IIS Manager). In this case I don't need to recompile something. Maybe it will be useful for somebody.
