While I am not running IronPythone *yet* on either 32 or 64 bit of anything, we are working on porting some other python applications to run on x64. One such application runs as a mix of ISAPI Filter/Extension, and as such we learned that if IIS is running on 64-bit mode your ISAPI Filter/Extension must as well. I am not sure if IronPython is affected by that too. I've also heard that some Server 2008 editions are 64-bit only too. -- Sidnei da Silva Enfold Systems http://enfoldsystems.com Fax +1 832 201 8856 Office +1 713 942 2377 Ext 214 _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
