Our VPC Environment is 32bit all services on the same server (SQL, SRS, CRM, and Aspose)
Client environment is split CRM on two servers, SQL/SRS on a third. All systems are 64bit software including Server 2003 and SQL 2005.
Installation problems in that environment:
· Upon running aspose.slides.reportingservices.msi in client environment, the indication is that .NET 1.1.4322 is not installed and must be installed
· User is directed to the download location for the .NET products and .NET 1.1.4322 is downloaded and lists compatibility with Server 2003 x64bit versions
· Upon running .NET 1.1.4322 installer, first indication is that problems with IIS on this platform can be alleviated by using :
o "cscript %SystemDrive%\inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil.vbs set w3svc/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1" command after .NET install
· This command and the .NET 1.1.4322 break the 64bit SRS application functionality.
· After running the same script and replacing the trailing 1 with a 0, followed by an aspnet_regiis –I from the 64bit framework directory of .NET 2.0 allow SRS to begin working again.
· This effectively removes .NET 1.1.4322 from IIS, but on a whim we retried the MSI execution and now it indicates that there is no SRS found.
