Hi,

Does this last point preclude running 32-bit Reporting Services and Exchange Server 2007 side-by-side on a 64bit System?

I have read and tried to implement the information in the article "How to: Configure IIS to Run 32-bit Reporting Services in WOW64 Mode" http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/ms143293.aspx but this seems to break the IIS reliant portions of Exchange 2007.

I've also looked at switching between 32bit and 64 bit versions of Dotnet 2.0 but this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894435 makes express note not to try this with Exchange Server 2007 but doesn't say why.

Am I trying to achieve something that is impossible or should I keep looking? I am trying to test SQL 2005 Express (64 bit version) and have installed just the reporting services component of the 32bit version (as I can't seem to find a 64 bit version of SQL 2005 Express with Advanced Services).

Any light you could shed on this would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Simon

Hi Thanks for your reply,

I take on board your recommendation, however just to clarify, does the SQL express with the advanced services  download you have refered to include a 64bit version of Reporting Services?

When unpacked there appear to be x86 and x64 versions of a few components as separate msi files but the report services component only has the one msi file.

So while you recommend against it, is it even possible, meaning is there a 64 bit version of the RS component?

Cheers

hi.

I went through this tutorial and very litmited there is on the web about this subject.

I followed your instructions and I get the following:

Service Unavailable

It shows up on all my sites.

Even those running static HTML.

Our applications USE classic asp.

They use Server.createobject for a lot of things.

So its a must to have 32 bit.

I dont know why we got a 64 bit server, other than we did not know IIS would not support both modes.

We dont have the time to re program our applications in .net

Please let me knwo what causes the Service Unavailable Error

Do i have to create a new app pool?

all my 3 sites are using default app pool with standard settings.

Also i went in IIS 6 and tried allowing ever Web Service Extension..

Also tried installing .net framework 1.1 (this is a new box and it was not installed by default)

None of these steps work.

Creating a new web site doesnt fix the error either.

What would cause the service unavaible.

And the app pool to just crash like that?

Thanks in advance

Forgot to add.

Eventviewer gets the following ERRORS

ISAPI Filter 'C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\\aspnet_filter.dll' could not be loaded due to a configuration problem. The current configuration only supports loading images built for a AMD64 processor architecture. The data field contains the error number.

When I run this command on 64 bit on server 2003 , after reset IIS service, My websites are became "Service Unavailable". When check event log I came to know thats

Could not load all ISAPI filters for site/service.  Therefore startup aborted.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

And Followed By

ISAPI Filter '%systemroot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\aspnet_filter.dll' could not be loaded due to a configuration problem. The current configuration only supports loading images built for a x86 processor architecture. The data field contains the error number. To learn more about this issue, including how to troubleshooting this kind of processor architecture mismatch error, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=29349.

Few other forums are suggested me to run ...

aspnet_regiis.exe -i -enable command. But after that also no use.

Can some one help in this.?

Thanks
