  I don't think any of the variables in DM will let you set this option. It may be possible to set it in the postDeploy.ps1 by executing this though:
  

  appcmd set apppool /apppool.name:MyAppPool /enable32BitAppOnWin64:true

  Thanks for the reply. That will work, I will create a post deploy script.

  I had to make some slight modifications to the script that James suggested and ended up with:
  

  $appcmd = "$env:windir\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set apppool /apppool.name:MyAppPool /enable32BitAppOnWin64:true"
  Invoke-Expression $appcmd
  

  
  This works fine for us.
  
  I added a suggestion at http://redgate.uservoice.com/forums/176290-deployment-manager/suggestions/5570073-configure-the-enable-32-bit-applications-setting regarding a DM variable for this setting.
