Sharepoint install: 32 bit emulation mode in IIS
September 24, 2008 – 17:51 by Tom Van den BergIf you are running the Microsoft Sharepoint Services installer on a x64 machine with Microsoft Windows 64 bit installed and you get an error like this:
IIS is running in 32-bit emulation mode, please fix this error to continue’.
You must run the following script from the command line:
CScript "%SystemDrive%\InetPub\AdminScripts\adsutil.vbs" set w3svc/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 0
and do an IISRESET
Start the installer again…

So it should be a 0 (not 1) for the argument passed.
