iis - Are Windows apps in 32-bit and 64-bit folders the same -
i need install , manage iis on 64-bit windows 2008 server through command prompt.
to install iis & configure required packages iis, need use pkgmgr.exe
and manage website, create app pools, need use appcmd.exe
now, both pkgmgr.exe
, appcmd.exe
avaialble in both c:/windows/system32/ , c:/windows/syswow64
folders.
1) both these applications in both these folders same or there difference?
2) there problems if install use both these apps system32 bit folder on 64 bit os?
there not same, programs under syswow64
32bit binaries, under system32
64bit binaries.
they have exact same functionality may affect either 32bit or 64bit parts of os.
the programs in syswow64
backwards compatibility. 32bit version of iis installed here run 32bit worker processes.
for installation , configuration should use system32
64bit versions.
in case of appcmd.exe
shouldn't make difference anyways, i'm not sure 32bit pkgmgr.exe
having access system32
always use programs in c:/windows/system32/
