When I try to connect a project to the ARM simulator I get the following error message:

Cannot access C:/Users/bvarl/AppData/Local/Rowley Associates Limited/CrossWorks for 
ARM/v4/packages/targets/Philips_LPC210X/LPC2000SimulatorMemory.dll: Can't load DLL 
(error 193): %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

The target is NXP LPC2138, I can connect to a real target through J-link fine. The project build configuration is ARM RAM RELEASE, is that the problem? I can't see how to add a debug config to the project, do I need to create a new project?

  I suspect the problem is that the project pre-dates 64-bit Windows support. Change the Debug > Simulator > Memory Simulation File project property from:

  $(PackagesDir)/targets/Philips_LPC210X/LPC2000SimulatorMemory.dll

  to:

  $(PackagesDir)/targets/Philips_LPC210X/LPC2000SimulatorMemory$(HostDLL)

  Thanks Jon, but had trouble following through with this. I worked through both the Debug and Project menus, and there was no mention whatsoever of Simulator. Ditto all the rest of the menus.

  Is this a case of an old version? If so, I'll upgrade.

  Located it (in an unexpected place), and the suggested fix works. Thanks Jon! And apologies for the false alarm.
