TF215097 Custom Build Activities using Com Interop on 64 bitsTF215097: An error occurred w - tfs

Question

TF215097: An error occurred while initializing a build for build definition {DefinitionName}: The invocation of the constructor on type 'Classname' that matches the specified binding constraints threw an exception.
OK some had already answered this very well:
TFS 2010 Custom Build Activity TF215097 error
I had the same issue before and corrected them by adding the correct attribute:
Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Client.BuildActivity( Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Client.HostEnvironmentOption.Agent )
My build is running well on x86 machine but give the error on 64 bit build controller or agent.
The Context :
I created several Build Activities. One of this activity is a Visual Build Pro runner activity. I referenced the Visual Build Professional 6 Server Object. (We have several project and could not update it... at this point)
When I build the assembly VS 2010 generate Native.{MyAssemblyName}.manifest
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

</file>
</assembly>
And Interop.VisBuildSvr.dll assembly
When I trig a build on a Windows 64 bit Build Controller and Agent on the same machine I have the TF error.
I tried to attach the debugger on the controller and I am able to see the first error :
A first chance exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
Additional information: Could not load file or assembly 'Interop.VisBuildSvr, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=d64ea679b6fd0408' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
That file is on my custom assemblies folder on TFS and also on the BuildController and BuildAgent folder.
Thanks

From your comment, it looks like you got it working by configuring your build to invoke the 32-bit version of MSBuild. Is that right?
