This topic describes how to run Graphics Mill for .NET based applications on x64 workstations.
Graphics Mill for .NET does not support 64-bit mode at that time because of it includes 32-bit native code. But it can be run on x64 workstations in 32-bit emulation mode. Let’s consider how to do it for Windows Forms and Web applications.

Windows Forms applications
There are two different situations:

You have Windows Forms application written for .NET Framework 1.0 or 1.1. In that case you just should install .NET Framework 1.1 or 1.0 on your x64 station and run your application.

Your Windows Forms application is written for .NET Framework 2.0. In this case you should recompile your software for 32-bit platform. Then you should install .NET Framework 2.0 on your x64 machine and place msvcr71.dll to windows/system32 folder. You can copy this library from Windows\Microsoft .NET\Framework\v1.1* if you have .NET Framework installed on your machine or from another machine with .NET Framework1.1. After that you can run your application.

Web applications
IIS 6.0 supports both the 32-bit mode and the 64-bit mode. However IIS 6.0 does not support running both modes at the same time on a 64-bit version of Windows. To use Graphics Mill for .NET in your Web application you should enable ASP.NET 2.0, 32-bit mode as it is shown in the article. To run the 32-bit version of ASP.NET 2.0, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
2. Type the following command to enable the 32-bit mode:

Code:

cscript %SYSTEMDRIVE%\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbs SET W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1

3. 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:

Code:

%SYSTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i

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.
