64bit MATLAB looking for a 32bit mex file

Hi,

I have 64-bit MATLAB 2015B running on a 64-bit Windows PC. In my code I am trying to access a 64-bit mex file. I am getting the following error - Invalid MEX-file 'C:\....\****.mexw64': C:\....\****.mexw64 is not a valid Win32 application.

Can you please help me understand why is this happening ?
