Hi there,

I have only this warning message during the System Configuration Check:

ASP.Net Version Registration Requirement (Warning)

Messages

ASP.Net Version Registration Requirement

64-bit ASP.Net is Registered. Required 32-bit ASP.Net to install Microsoft Reporting Services 2005(32-bit).

Does this mean that I can't install Reporting Services or should I pay no attention to it and continue to install?

I'm running on Windows 64-bit Pro. edition.

Thanks,

Eric

Hi,

as of [1]:

³For Reporting Services (64-bit) installations on 64-bit servers, the 64-bit version of ASP.NET must be installed. For Reporting Services (32-bit) installations on 32-bit systems, and on the 32-bit subsystem (WOW64) of a 64-bit server, the 32-bit version of ASP.NET must be installed.

Guess you tried to install the 32bit Reporting Services edition on a 64bit system.

Okay thanks Jens.

I was using the download from the SQL Server Express web site, but cancelled before

install and then just downloaded from the Visual Web Developer setup wizard where it gives you the option to install Sql Server Express.

The download and install had no errors.

Have a good day

I'm having the same issue - and I am trying to do a full install of 64 bit SS2005 Enterprise on Windows 2003 Enterprise. Yet it keeps warning about needing the 32-bit ASP.net. I'm also surprised how much of the installation ends up in

Program Files (x86)

which I think means its chooseing to install 32 bit versions - and I don't know why.

Do you have the 32-bit version of the .NET Framework installed ?

Hi,

I am having the same problem. Did you find a solution?

Many thanks,

Dan

The solution is this:

open a command-line prompt, is using the UAC, press OK, then paste the following:

cscript %SystemDrive%\inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil.vbs set w3svc/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1

after that restart the Setup, and you should now have Reporting Services as a installable option, and the warning message should not be shown.

Does this work?

If so what does this mean: 'open a command-line prompt, is using the UAC'

Start - Run - cmd ?

is using UAC what it that supposed to mean?

Suppose it all makes perfect sense to a programmer / developer but could someonepossiblly post a version for the rest of us to understand please? ..... That's if it actually works

Starting a command prompt with UAC probably means that if you are using Vista you elevate the Command prompt to have evelated priviledges using the "Run as administrator" option.

Thanks, didnt help me though.

After a reboot i received a message saying that the cscript had been applied or worked or something. But i still get the ASP Error

Hello,

My system is running on Vista x64. I installed VS 2008 Express Editions. But I can't install SQL Server 2005 Management Studio on SQL Server 2008. So I removed the 2008 version. Then again I installed SQL Server 2005 version. But whenever I tried to install, it displays ASP.NET warning message. Even though the installation is done, I can't install Management Studio.

Then I tried to run the above script command to enable 32-bit applications run on 64-bit. Previously I enabled the IIS7 features in "Turn Features On/Off" in Windows Vista Control Panel.

I downloaded and installed the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP2. Now it is successfully installed and I can connect to Management Studio!

Wow! Thanks to the script. I don't know why you are still getting this error!

Thanks to Contributes and MSDN.

Hi, Srinath.

Two questions:

1. First of all I must run the script and then install SS2005 Exp with AS SP2?

2. My Win Vista Home Premiuim x64 is preloaded with Framework 3.0 Do I need to install Framework 2.0 x64, Framework x86or it's enough with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP2?

Thanks in advance, and regards from Mxico,

Hello,
Follow these steps:
1.) First run the script. 2.) Your system is preloaded wih Vista 64-bit means, it already installed .NET 2.0 3.) Just install the "SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP2".
That's it!

Thanksa lot, Srinath!

I'll do that this weekend, after backing up an retoring the OS and let you know.

Regards...

Finally, Srinath, I've installed SQL 2005 Express. But it wasn't that easy.

After formating my lap, I follow your intructions. First, when checkingmy system, an error apears in the IIS and I intalled the all the components, the error doesn't desapear but I conitnue with the process. Then, in the Setup progress, a lot of errors apears. So I format again mi lap.

In this second time, I run the script, intall VS2005 without SQL, then"SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP2" and voil, IT WORKS!

Thanks a lot for your help, Srinath. And Happy New Year.

Regards from Mxico.

You get this message because SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services runs as an 32-bit ASP.NET application in IIS.

Support for 32-bit web apps is included but disabled in 64-bit versions of Windows.

You can enable 32-bit web app supportwith the the following commands:

cd c:\inetpub\adminscripts
cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1

But youonly need it if you intend to install 32 bit SQL 2005 Reporting Services.

If you are NOT going to install Reporting Services (for example if you only want the Database Engine and or the Management Studio) then you can just ignore this warning along with the "IIS Requirement" warning message.

Thanks very much! I am in process of upgrading OS to 64 bit & reinstalling all my software & had the same issue & running this script resolved the warning!

Why would someone receive this error when only installing SQL 2005 Express SP3 and not SQL 2005 Express with Advanced Services SP3?  SQL Reporting Services is not supposed to be installed by the former.

The solution is this:

open a command-line prompt, is using the UAC, press OK, then paste the following:

cscript %SystemDrive%\inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil.vbs set w3svc/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1

after that restart the Setup, and you should now have Reporting Services as a installable option, and the warning message should not be shown.

On windows 7, the path to the adsutil.vbs script is

C:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-iis-legacyscripts_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_da3b5e9090e80564\adsutil.vbs

attempting to install the sql server 2005 express edition update, on a win 7 64bit home edition, the update fails

I went to microsofts help and downloaded a stand alone 64 bit version and tried to install it as admin, this too fails

it says asp.net version registration requirement, filed to find the asp.net version registration with microsoft internet information services (iis)

I tried your cscript but it failed to find the file, I manually shifted to the directory you listed and ran the csript again as admin, and it again failed with

Error Trying To Get the Object: w3svc/AppPools.

now what?

honest to god, I wish I had never heard of sql, 2005, thru 3099, and if I never hear of it again it will be way too soon

Hi,

 

you should start cmd with administrator rights. Right click and select: Run as administrator

then it should work.

Miha

This solution seems to be excellent and its working for me.

Thanks very much  Tobias

I had the same problem. I was thinking that it is the installer from the web that is corrupted or something so I had to search for my CD installer so I can install it from there since I already used it before, but I had the same error. I never knew that there is an Advanced installer for SQL Server 2005 until I found this site. Thanks for the effort! It works very well now.

The solution of this issue is to allow 32bit ASP.net on that machine. please follow the under given link for complete process.
