Fortress Server on Windows UDS Server 2003 (64-bit)

Does Fortress Server support 64-bit versions of Windows Server?

I am trying to install it on a Windows UDS Server 2003 system and although the installation process seemed to complete succesfully, I'm getting an error message from the VaultService web page (see error below).

Thanks,

Alan

The Fortress server is supported on WinXP and Win2003 64-bit operating systems only if IIS/ASP.NET is in 32-bit mode. See this Microsoft KB article for how to enable 32-bit ASP.NET for IIS:

Following the steps under the heading ASP.NET 2.0, 32-bit version resolved this issue.

Thanks,

Alan

We have other software that we wish to install on the same server that requires IIS to be in 64-bit mode (Exchange 2007).

Is there a timeline for making Fortress compatible with 64-bit IIS?
