If you ever happen across an IIS web server that absolutely REFUSES to behave properly and render web application requests for clients as a good little web server should, then check out the fix for x64 ASP.NET 2.0…

1) Check that you DO NOT see this:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727>aspnet_regiis -lv

2.0.50727.0     Valid           C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll

1.1.4322.0      Valid           C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_isapi.dll

2.0.50727.0     Valid           C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\\aspnet_isapi.dll

2) If you do, then do this:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727>aspnet_regiis -ua

Start uninstalling all versions of ASP.NET.

..............................Start uninstalling all versions of ASP.NET.

.........................

Finished uninstalling all versions of ASP.NET.

.

Finished uninstalling all versions of ASP.NET.

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727>aspnet_regiis -lv

Cannot find any installed version.

3) Finally, to make your IIS 6.0 webserver host on a X64 Windows OS, do this:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322>aspnet_regiis -i

Start installing ASP.NET (1.1.4322.0).

Finished installing ASP.NET (1.1.4322.0).

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322>aspnet_regiis -lv

1.1.4322.0      Valid (Root)    C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_isapi.dll

4) And also this to set x64 ASP.NET as the default and root version to finally resolve the version conflicts:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727>aspnet_regiis.exe -i

Start installing ASP.NET (2.0.50727).

.............................................

Finished installing ASP.NET (2.0.50727).

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727>aspnet_regiis.exe -lv

2.0.50727.0     Valid (Root)    C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll

1.1.4322.0      Valid           C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_isapi.dll
