(1) Notes on installing Asset Information Manager in a 64-bit OS

When installing Asset Information Manager in a 64-bit OS, you must set up Microsoft Internet Information Services.

(a) Using Microsoft Internet Information Services 6.0

When installing Asset Information Manager in Windows Server 2003 (x64), you need settings for running 32-bit applications.

From the command prompt, change the current directory to %windir%\Inetpub\AdminScripts and then execute the following command:

cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32BitAppOnWin64 "true"

(b) Using Microsoft Internet Information Services 7.0 or 7.5

When installing Asset Information Manager in the 64-bit version of Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2, set Enable 32-Bit Applications to True in the settings for the application pool that will be used by the website in which Asset Information Manager's virtual directory is registered. For details about how to set an application pool, see 5.8.2(3) Creating application pools.
