Hi Gianluca,
Regarding on the error message you mentioned, I've performed some research
and found some similar issues. Among them I think the following reference
maybe helpful to you. For IIS6 on windows X64 box, it can be configured to
run under 32bit WOW mode, at that mode, if it load a 64 bit ISAPI dll, it
will fail with such error, you can have a look at the articles for more
info:

on 64bit Windows

applications in IIS 6.0
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/895976/en-us BTW, as for the IIS6 on x64 box, according to my local test, there is no
"ASP.NET" tab in the virutal directory properties dialog. Also, for
ASP.NET web application virtual directory, I think you you do not need the
following optsion:
- Browse option enabled
- Index resource enabled
- Log visits enabled
- Execution authorizations : execute scripts and executables
You can remove them if they're not necessary for you. And for application
pool, if you have any other web application already running on the server,
I suggest you create a new application pool and let your application
virutal directory use the dedicated pool so as to avoid some other impact.
If there is anything unclear, please feel free to post here.
Sincerely,

Subject: Help: %1 is not a valid Win32 application
Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2008 16:22:27 +0100
Hi,
I have Windows Server 2003 x64 standard SP2 Italian, with Xeon 3.8 Ghz and
2GB RAM.
On Server I found installed .net framework 1.1 and 2.0 (x64).
I am developing a simple (Hello world) web service with Visual Studio 2008
Dev Edition (English). I have selected a Web Service Site Project with net
2.0 framework.
I have created a web site IIS 6.0 under the default web sites directory.
Then I created a virtual directory in the new web site.
The virtual directory has this properties in IIS:
- Read option enabled
- Browse option enabled
- Index resource enabled
- Log visits enabled
- Application mane (WebService)
- Execution authorizations : execute scripts and executables
- Application pool: WebService (one only application for this pool)
I don't have any ASP.NET tab in virtual directory properties!
but I can see that .asmx pages are binded to .net 2.0 framework x64
I published web service with Visual Studio using ftp protocol.
In the virtual directory there is .asmx and Web.config files and \bin
directory there are WebService.dll,.pdb,.xml files.
I can browse (for testing purpose only) the directory in the browser.
When I call the web service
(http://servername/site/WebService/WebService.asmx) I get
this message in the browser:
%1 is not a valid Win32 application
I tried to rebuild the project with "Any CPU" and with "x64 Cpu" but
anything changed.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance
