Siebel Application in 64bit WIN Server

Requirement: There was one situation in which I have been provided with one 64x Enterprise WIN 2003 R2 Server.

As known Siebel application does not support 64bit server, it supports 32bit.

So when I installed the Web Server Extension in this 64bit server it was not working everything was ok and there were no logs generating as well.

After some efforts I found out a way by which siebel application can run in 64bit WIN server, Please find the steps below which will help to run the siebel applications in 64bit Enterprise WIN Servers -

Type the following command to install the version of ASP.NET 2.0 (32-bit) and to install the script maps at the IIS root and under:

4.

Make sure that the status of ASP.NET version 2.0.50727 (32-bit) is set to Allowed in the Web service extension list in Internet Information Services Manager.

After all the 4 steps execution, please restart the machine and observe the Siebel application working in the server.

For 64bit Siebel Application does not load and hence the normal installations will not work even the logs will not be generated properly.

So the solution is to downgrade the ASP.NET to 32bit the process is below :
