Team Foundation Server 2008 no 64 bit Version?

[BobM]

I have a problem in that when I try to install Teams Foundation Server for
Workgroups on my 64bit Windows 2008 Small Business Server, it comes up with
an error indicating it can only be installed on a 32bit OS.

Has anyone got a solution to this?

If you are trying to do a single server deployment of TFS to a Windows 2008
x64 server, it can not be done. The Application Tier (web front end) of TFS
is compatible only with 32-bit OS's. You can install the Data Tier (SQL) on
64-bit Server 2008.

To expand on Tony's post as to why the application teir MUST be straight
32-Bit.

I ran into the same issue when trying to do a Single-Server install of TFS
on a 64-Bit Windows server. There is only one reason why it can't be done.

TFS requires Reporting Services which with SQL 2005 is 32-bit and wants the
32-bit version of ASP.NET 2.0, thus forces you to run IIS in 32 bit mode with
the Enable32bitAppOnWin64 parameter true.

Now the gottcha, TFS also uses Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 which will
NOT run on IIS in 32-bit mode. Even the 32-bit version of SharePoint 3.0
must have IIS in 64-bit mode.

OUCH! Microsoft needs to fix this, pronto.
