When you retrieve the properties for a virtual directory in
Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, the
ASP.NET tab of IIS Manager does not appear. Alternatively, the
Edit Configuration button on the
ASP.NET tab is
disabled.
This problem occurs when any one of the following conditions is true:
| You are using the 32-bit version of IIS Manager
on a 64-bit computer. |
| You are using IIS in Microsoft Windows-32-on-Windows-64 (WOW64) mode. |
| You have set the Enable32bitAppOnWin64 property to True in IIS. This setting lets IIS run in 32-bit mode on a 64-bit
computer. |
Note WOW64 is an emulation layer that enables 32-bit Windows-based
applications to run seamlessly on 64-bit computers.
This problem occurs because the 32-bit version of IIS
Manager is incompatible with 64-bit computers that use Microsoft
ASP.NET.
This problem can also occur because the 64-bit version of IIS Manager cannot load the 32-bit Aspnet_isapi.dll
file as a native 64-bit file. Additionally, the 64-bit version of IIS Manager cannot load this file in WOW64 32-bit mode.
To work around this problem, use the 64-bit version of IIS Manager. Also, do not use IIS Manager in WOW64 mode.

32-bit applications on 64-bit computers, visit the following Microsoft Web
