MOSS 2007 installation on Windows Server 64-bit

I was trying to install MOSS 2007 on my laptop today while I'm running Windows Server 2008 64-bit edition and i discovered that this will not be a normal installation.

First you have to prepare a new installation folder with the MOSS and WSS service packs extracted in order to be able to run the setup.

For more information about how to install MOSS 2007 on Windows Server 2008 check this post http://mindsharpblogs.com/ben/archive/2007/12/16/3837.aspx

After downloading the necessary updates and preparing the installation folder;I got the below error when the MOSS installation started 

Setup is unable to proceed due to the following error(s):

Internet Information Services is running in 32-bit emulation mode.

Correct the issue(s) listed above and then re-run setup.

To fix this issue:

1. You simply need to run the following command (open command prompt in administrative mode)

   CScript "%SystemDrive%\InetPub\AdminScripts\adsutil.vbs" set w3svc/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 0

   Note The value "1" for Enable32bitAppOnWin64 specifies 32-bit mode. The value "0" specifies 64-bit mode.

2. Restart the IIS by typing iisreset command in the command prompt.
