How to Install Classic ASP-db in WS2008

[Frank]

The following is the procedures to install classic ASP-db in Windows Server 2008 (32 and 64 bits)

• Register component using Component Services.
• In the component properties (Balls) like ‘ASP.DB’, ‘ASP.Dlist’ … etc. Get into the property of each one (or Ctrl-A) and perform the following -
• Uncheck the ‘Enable Object Construction’ checkbox in the Activation Tab.
• Check the ‘Allow IIS intrinsic properties’ checkbox.

64 bits notes
==========
* Do the above.
* Setting the 32-bit application switch in the Application Pool has no effect in our test. DLL worked either way.
* 64-bit O/S does not allow the system32 directory to be touched. This has been fixed and user should use the second default or specify the exact path.
* You can request the fix if your maintenance is current. The fixed version will be sent in the next release.
* All old code worked well in our test with the 64-bit 2008 server.

A note about 64 bit WS2008 development - A lot of 64 bit components are missing when attempting to compile the code in VS2008 64-bit targeting x64. When Any CPU is targeted, the compile was good. So, we'll still furnish the Any CPU version instead of the 64-bit version.
