If you receive ‘Service Unavailable’ when loading EEE (or any other .Net app), and Event ID 2274 (Source: W3SVC-WP) in the Windows Application Log, you can follow these steps to resolve:


'''ASP.NET 2.0, 64-bit version'''

To run the 64-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 disable the 32-bit mode: 

'''cscript %SYSTEMDRIVE%\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbs SET W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 0'''

3. Type the following command to install the version of ASP.NET 2.0 and to install the script maps at the IIS root and under: 

'''%SYSTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i '''

4. Make sure that the status of ASP.NET version 2.0.50727 is set to '''Allowed''' in the Web service extension list in Internet Information Services Manager.

This is a restriction with IIS and .Net 1.1 running on a 64-bit server.&nbsp; The older .Net 1.1 cannot run correctly on 64-bit.
