We try to do the right thing occasionally :) From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Laurence Sent: Thursday, February 18, 2010 4:48 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Any Adobe folks on here?
Well, I figured this one out, too... Apparently it's not possible to install 32-bit *anything* on 64-bit IIS, unless you put IIS into "32-bit mode" by running the following script: C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts\cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set W3SVC/AppPools/enable32BitAppOnWin64 "true" And it's that script that kills CertSrv on 64-bit IIS. This flag must be set to false in order for CertSrv to work on IIS. So to solve the problem, I talked my boss into buying 64-bit ColdFusion 9 Standard Edition Upgrade. Hell of a solution, eh? LOL Anyway -- thanks to the guy from Adobe who e-mailed me off-list (and especially thanks to the group-member here who forwarded my e-mail to him!!) Without your help, I'd never have figured this out. (I'm not naming names, in case they want their identities kept private -- but I know who you are, and you have my gratitude.)
