I used my Windows XP 32-bit OS to create a web application then added it to my friend’s IIS 7 on Windows 7 64-bit. Windows 7 is okay for .aspx pages but not so much with html pages.

I tested if Handler Mapping in my Windows 7 PC can help but it sure doesn’t.

Hitting a .html page on a Windows 7 PC just gives another error message.

This stopped IIS 7.5 from loading static html pages. I can’t find feature.

How can I run an application made in Windows XP 32-bit on a PC that is Windows 7 64-bit?

Hallo Nadia,

Running an application that has been designed to work on windows XP 32 bit on windows 64 bit will be really hard. I will suggest that you do one of the following:

  • You can opt to get an .aspx application that is meant to run on windows 7 64 bit to avoid the compatibility issues you are getting with the application right now.
  • You can as well choose to change your operating system to 32 bit. That means that you will have to uninstall the windows 7 64 bit you have on your system right now and then install the windows 7 2 bit. This will be a bit hectic so I will highly recommend that you just get the .aspx 64 bit application and install it.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Carl
