Enabling ASP.NET in Windows Server 2003 64-bit

[JS101]

Enabling ASP.NET on our 32-bit Windows Server 2003 works fine. I go to
Add/Remove Windows Components, and within Application Server, I enable
"ASP.NET" in this list:

Application Server Console
ASP.NET
Enable network COM+ access
Enable network DTC access
Internet Information Services (IIS)
Message Queuing

However on our 64-bit Windows Server 2003, "ASP.NET" doesn't appear in the
list.

How do we install and enable ASP.NET on this server?

Thanks.

I believe you need to download ASP.NET for Win2003 since it does not come
with it automatically

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.

ASP.NET 1.1 runs only in 32-bit mode.
ASP.NET 2.0 runs in 32-bit mode or in 64-bit mode.

If you want to run ASP.NET 1.1 and ASP.NET 2.0
at the same time, you must run IIS in 32-bit mode.

If you want to run ASP.NET in 64-bit mode, you can only use ASP.NET 2.0.

The .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package (x64) is available at :

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...00-ACF8-4FA1-AFFB-40E78D788B00&displaylang=en

If you're running an Itanium processor, use the IA64 version instead :
