NPM 10.4.2 Reinstall on 2008 R2 64-bit

I'm in the process of migrating NPM to a new server. Do I need to run IIS in 32-bit if installing on 2008 R2 64-bit or is this requirement just for 2003 64-bit servers? The documentation isn't really clear on this. Thanks!

32-bit apps can be enabled in IIS7:

Following is step to enable 32-bit Applications from IIS7 manager:

Right click on the Application Pool and select “Advanced Settings…” or select the same from the Actions pane after selecting the Application pool.
Change the “Enable 32-bit Applications” to True
Click OK.

You can also preform following steps to enable 32-bit Applications via command Prompt :

1.Opening command prompt and navigating to the directory %systemdrive%\Inetpub\AdminScripts

2.Type: cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32BitAppOnWin64 true

That is correct, 32-bit IIS is still required.

Does it have to be IIS 6.0 or will 7.0 run in 32-bit mode? Is there official documentation on how to set IIS to 32-bit mode?

Thanks in advance.
