VS2013 - MSB3270: mismatch between processor architecture - Fakes Framework

Question

In the same vein as this thread , I see a build warning when creating a build test in my cloud project that uses the Visual Studio Fakes framework.

There was a mismatch between the processor architecture of the built project "MSIL" and the processor architecture of the help "msshrtmi", "AMD64". This mismatch can lead to runtime failures. Please consider changing the target processor architecture of your project through Configuration Manager to align processor architectures between your project and the links, or depend on links to the processor architecture that matches the target processor architecture of your project. [D: \ SSO \ Shared \ OBJ \ Main \ ServicesShared.Tests \ Fakes \ PAS \ f.csproj]

The only difference is that I just started to see this problem after before VS 2013. According to this connection problem , it should be fixed. I tried applying a workaround to VS 2012, but this does not seem to have any effect.

Has anyone else come across this with VS 2013 and / or how were you able to fix it? Thanks.

Try adding the following file inside .fakes xml (located under the Fakes folder in the project tree)

<Compilation>
    <Property Name="PlatformTarget">x64</Property>
</Compilation>
