When Software Attacks!

SharePoint 2007 on x64 - don't try to run 32-bit web apps!

We’re slowly migrating services onto our new servers here at Black Marble. This morning we had one of those moments where significant amounts of wall kicking and teeth gnashing ensue. Basically, we forgot that if you enable 32-bit .net support on IIS 6 it disables 64-bit support - you can’t run 32 bit and 64 bit apps concurrently. We spent a long time the other week getting our release version of SharePoint 2007 installed on one of our shiny Sun X2100 x64 servers.
