/platform:anycpu32bitpreferred is not a valid setting for option /target:library or /target:module

I created a Windows service project and later decided to change it's output type to class library so I could include the service class in another project which would create the .exe to be installed as a service. But now when I try to build the first project it fails with the error:

/platform:anycpu32bitpreferred is not a valid setting for option /target:library or /target:module

How can I fix this?

Try to

unload project (right click in solution explorer)

edit <projectName>.csproj (right click in solution explorer)

remove <Prefer32Bit>true</Prefer32Bit>

reload project.
