From: maddog on
and now after installing the regular Framework (not the 64bit) i get this
error:

cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32BitAppOnWin64 true
"cscript.exe is not a valid win32 application."
:(((((( I DO not understand microsoft, i don't see the logic. Why everything
is so hard?
