I am using DevForce EF in some .NET assemblies that are being called from a legacy COM application. The problem I am having is that DevForce probes all the DLLs and EXEs in the applications directory. Any time it hits a non .NET file I get the following exception: "System.BadImageFormatException was unhandled by user code"

I can move all the DLL files to another directory, but the main EXE I can not move. Is there a way to handle the exception that allows the DevForce initialization code to still run? Or is there a way to exclude some EXEs from the probing?

This should be fixed in the 6.0.5 release this week.  However, it's not a bad idea to specify the probe assemblies to speed up application startup.  You do this by calling the CompositionHost:
 
using IdeaBlade.Core.Composition;
 
CompositionHost.SearchPatterns.Clear();
CompositionHost.SearchPatterns.Add("DomainModel.dll");  //  Add whatever assemblies you need probed
