   However, it is currently impossible to deploy the CefSharp libraries side by side (i.e. in the same directory) as the x86 and x64 versions of the libraries have the same name

   This should be possible with the current packages, set CefSharpTargetDir to PlatformTarget in your project file to copy the files into a sub directory.

   https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/blob/cefsharp/81/NuGet/CefSharp.Common.targets#L12

   You can then try your proposed app.config solution.

   Suggestion sounds interesting, you are welcome to submit a PR.

   Now that #3319 is complete the CefSharp.dll/CefSharp.Core.dll/CefSharp.Wpf.dll/CefSharp.WinForms.dll/CefSharp.OffScreen.dll files are now AnyCPU.

   You can <CefSharpTargetDir>$(PlatformTarget)</CefSharpTargetDir> to your project file, for the older Non SDK Style this would look like the following.

   <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Debug|x64'">
       <DebugSymbols>true</DebugSymbols>
       <OutputPath>bin\x64\Debug\</OutputPath>
       <DefineConstants>DEBUG;TRACE</DefineConstants>
       <DebugType>full</DebugType>
       <PlatformTarget>x64</PlatformTarget>
       <ErrorReport>prompt</ErrorReport>
       <CodeAnalysisRuleSet>MinimumRecommendedRules.ruleset</CodeAnalysisRuleSet>
       <Prefer32Bit>false</Prefer32Bit>
       <CefSharpTargetDir>x64</CefSharpTargetDir>
     </PropertyGroup>
   <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Debug|x86'">
       <DebugSymbols>true</DebugSymbols>
       <OutputPath>bin\x86\Debug\</OutputPath>
       <DefineConstants>DEBUG;TRACE</DefineConstants>
       <DebugType>full</DebugType>
       <PlatformTarget>x86</PlatformTarget>
       <ErrorReport>prompt</ErrorReport>
       <CodeAnalysisRuleSet>MinimumRecommendedRules.ruleset</CodeAnalysisRuleSet>
       <Prefer32Bit>false</Prefer32Bit>
       <CefSharpTargetDir>x86</CefSharpTargetDir>
   </PropertyGroup>
   

   Then to load the arch specific files at compile time you can use something like the following in your proj file (written in notepad so might need some tweaks, based off https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/blob/cefsharp/87/NuGet/CefSharp.Common.targets#L301)

   <UsingTask TaskName="TransformXml" AssemblyFile="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v$(VisualStudioVersion)\Web\Microsoft.Web.Publishing.Tasks.dll" />
     
   <Target Name="CefSharpAppConfigTransform" AfterTargets="_CopyAppConfigFile">
   	<TransformXml Source="@(AppConfigWithTargetPath->'$(OutDir)%(TargetPath)')" Transform="$(CefSharpCommonTransform32)" Destination="@(AppConfigWithTargetPath->'$(OutDir)%(TargetPath)')"/>
   	<TransformXml Source="@(AppConfigWithTargetPath->'$(OutDir)%(TargetPath)')" Transform="$(CefSharpCommonTransform64)" Destination="@(AppConfigWithTargetPath->'$(OutDir)%(TargetPath)')"/>
   </Target>
   

   To load the arch specific files are runtime you can use Option 2 from #1714 to detect and load the dll at runtime. There are a few other options for this you could also use.
