Running 32-bit Server Applications on 64-bit Machines

Running 32-bit Applications on 64-bit Windows (IIS 6.0)


Windows Server 2003™, Service Pack 1 enables IIS 6.0 to run 32-bit Web applications on 64-bit Windows using the Windows-32-on-Windows-64 (WOW64) compatibility layer. IIS 6.0 using WOW64 is intended to run 32-bit personal productivity applications needed by software developers and administrators, including 32-bit Internet Information Services (IIS) Web applications.
On 64-bit Windows, 32-bit processes cannot load 64-bit DLLs, and 64-bit processes cannot load 32-bit DLLs. If you plan to run 32-bit applications on 64-bit Windows, you must configure IIS to create 32-bit worker processes. Once you have configured IIS to create 32-bit worker processes, you can run the following types of IIS applications on 64-bit Windows:
Internet Server API (ISAPI) extensions
ISAPI filters
Active Server Page (ASP) applications (specifically, scripts calling COM objects where the COM object can be 32-bit or 64-bit)
ASP.NET applications
IIS can, by default, launch Common Gateway Interface (CGI) applications on 64-bit Windows, because CGI applications run in a separate process.

Configuring IIS to run 32-bit Web applications on 64-bit Windows

Before you configure IIS to run 32-bit applications on 64-bit Windows, note the following:
IIS only supports 32-bit worker processes in Worker Process Isolation mode on 64-bit Windows.
On 64-bit Windows, the World Wide Web Publishing service can run 32-bit and 64-bit worker processes. Other IIS services like the IIS Admin service, the SMTP service, the NNTP service, and the FTP service run 64-bit processes only.
On 64-bit Windows, the World Wide Web Publishing service does not support running 32-bit and 64-bit worker processes concurrently on the same server.

To enable IIS 6.0 to run 32-bit applications on 64-bit Windows

1. Enable IIS's 32-bit support
Open a command prompt and type in the following command:
cscript %SYSTEMDRIVE%\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbs SET W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1
This command enables the 32-bit mode in IIS.
2. Install the IIS 32-bit extensions
Open a command prompt and type the following command:
%SYSTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i
This command installs the 32-bit web extensions for .NET Framework 2.0.
3. Activate .NET Framework 2.0 32-bit in IIS
In the IIS-Manager, select the 'ASP.NET v2.0.50727 (32bit)' in the 'Web Service Extensions' panel and check 'allow' to activate it.
4. Restart the IIS by opening a command prompt:
iisrestart

Call User-defined Function on Linked Server :SQL Server

If you try to invoke a user-defined function (UDF) through a linked server in SQL Server by using a "four-part naming" convention (server.database.dbo.Function), you may receive error message.  The reason is User-defined function calls inside a four-part linked server query are not supported in SQL Server. Thats why error message indicates that the syntax of a Transact-SQL statement is incorrect.  To work around this problem, use the Openquery function instead of the four-part naming convention. For example, instead of the following query Select * from Linked_Server.database.dbo.Function(10) run a query with the Openquery function: Select * from Openquery(Linked_Server,'select database.dbo.Function(10)') If the user-defined function takes variable or scalar parameters, you can use the sp_executesql stored procedure to avoid this behavior.  For example: exec Linked_Server.database.dbo.sp_executesql N'SELECT database.dbo.Function(@input)',N'@input
