The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

I cannot install WSS 3.0 x64 on Win2K8 server, the error says "IIS is running in 32-bit emulation mode"

Asked by techcity in MS SharePoint

Tags: internet information services is running in 32-bit emulation mode

We have a Windows 2008 Server x64, which is running a simple third party web application. This server is way too powerful, and we decided to put more use on it, so I installed WSS 3.0 w/SP1 on this server successfully a few days ago.

But yesterday the web app had a problem, and we suspected WSS 3.0 was the cause, so we removed WSS 3.0, but the problem was still there. We did lots troubleshooting, including reinstalled IIS, reinstalled the web app and finally we fixed it - the problem was nothing related to WSS 3.0, it was because a file of the web app was accidentally deleted.

However, When I tried to reinstall WSS 3.0 today, I got this error:
"Setup is unable to proceed due to the following error(s):
Internet Information Services is running in 32-bit emulation mode. Correct the issue(s) listed above and re-run setup"

I contacted the web app tech support again and asked them if and how I can make IIS back to 64bit mode. They did not answer my question except telling me that their software must be running in 32 bit mode.

I believe WSS 3.0 and the existing third party web app should be able to coexist on the same server, because I installed WSS 3.0 successfully at the very beginning. I think somehow IIS settings were messed up during the troubleshooting and prevented me from installing WSS 3.0 afterwards.

How can I make both WSS 3.0 and the 32-bit web app work on the same server then?
I am not an IIS expert at all, could someone please help?

Thanks in advance

Jack
