Install the 32-bit version of Reporting Services on a computer that is running the 64-bit version of IIS 7.0

To install the 32-bit version of Reporting Services on a computer that is running the 64-bit version of IIS 7.0, follow these steps:

   2. In the Actions pane, click Set Application Pool Defaults.
   3. In the General section, set the Enable32bitAppOnWin64 option to True.
   Note By default, a SQL Server 2005 64-bit installer will look for a 64-bit IIS installation. If the Enable32bitAppOnWin64 option is set to False at the root level, then the installation of Reporting Services should complete successfully.
5. Install the 32-bit version of Reporting Services. You must apply SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 (SP2) after you install Reporting Services in Windows Vista. If you install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services, you can run SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP2.
   For more information, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

   http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=63922 (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=63922)
