Hi all

A month ago I tried to install our new server sith 64 bits windows 2003 and it wokred until I got to ASP.Net where it failed and I summariesed it as way to early to even try to tweek and ASP.Net application to work.
Please let me know if anybody has installed a 64 bits Windows Server with ASP.Net succesfully

64bit, rock on!  We have this on our radar also....one client's dbs too large for 32bit...  I'd love to hear details from anyone running DNN on 64bit.

You've got to clarify a few things.

On 64 bit Windows you can run 64 Bit SQL server. This is supposed to be very compatible, move your schema, move your stored procs, and you're good to go.

On 64 bit Windows it gets a little confusing if you try to move other applications. I'm a little out of date, but I don't think that there is a 64-bit version of the .NET 1.1 Framework. The 1.1 CLR must run on 32 bit Windows. That's probalby OK on an x64 architecture box, but it may not work well on Itanium (IA64). There is also a 64 bit version of .NET Framework 2.0, so you MAY be able to run DNN 4.0 on ASP.NET 2.0 on 64 bit .NET on 64 bit Windows. But, I don't know that anyone has tested this.

Yes I had the 64 bits SQL server up and running very OK but this server was also going to failback if the windows 2003 32 bit webserver was failing and it wouldn't install the framework 1.1 together with ASP.Net properly so we took it all away and the schedule now is mid January to give it a try again together with dual processors. We are using IBM Servers and the Xeon processors.
