32-bit Server Applications on 64-bit Machines
ASP.NET applications using TX Text Control Server for ASP.NET require 32-bit mode on 64-bit Windows. This four-step guide covers enabling 32-bit support in IIS via adsutil.vbs, installing the .NET Framework 2.0 32-bit web extensions, activating them in IIS Manager, and restarting.
ASP.NET applications that use TX Text Control Server for ASP.NET (incl. Windows Forms) must be compiled for 32-bit platforms (see this article). IIS must be configured to execute these 32-bit applications. Generally, all applications will be executed in 64-bit mode.
1. Enable IIS's 32-bit support
Open a command prompt and type in the following command:
cscript %SYSTEMDRIVE%\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbs SET W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1
This command enables the 32-bit mode in IIS.
2. Install the IIS 32-bit extensions
Open a command prompt and type the following command:
%SYSTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i
This command installs the 32-bit web extensions for .NET Framework 2.0.
3. Activate .NET Framework 2.0 32-bit in IIS
In the IIS-Manager, select the 'ASP.NET v2.0.50727 (32bit)' in the 'Web Service Extensions' panel and check 'allow' to activate it.
4. Restart the IIS by opening a command prompt:
iisrestart
