How to get MVC 2 to work with IIS 7.5 on a 64 bit machine

Wednesday, August 11, 2010

Just in case anyone else is getting the following error when trying to run a MVC 2 application within IIS 7.5 on a 64 bit machine… after loads of searching i finally found a solution that worked for me.

1. Open the visual studio x64 win64 command prompt:

2. Navigate to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319

3. Run the following: aspnet_regiis –i

If you’re still having issues after this, make sure you have all the correct IIS features installed such as Http Redirection.

Hope this helps, it was driving me crazy for a while.

Cheers,

Sean.

Hi Quang ba web,

The more I struggle, the more I'll post...

I'm definitely not an expert in this area so I'm likely to come across loads of the common pitfalls.
