MOSS Installation fail on 64-bit Windows server 2003

My MOSS Server is configured with following component:

Windows server 2003 – x64
SQL Server 2008 – x64 (when you install SQL Server 2008 it will install .NET framework 2.0 and 3.0 with sp2)

Now, i have started MOSS setup and got error that MOSS installation require .NET Framework 2.0 and IIS installed on your server as a pre-requisites. Strange is, on MOSS 2007 i found .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.0 with sp2 then after MOSS 2007 setup showing error to install .NET Frameowork 2.0.

After working 2 hours on above issue found that .NET Framework 2.0 requires to register on MOSS Server using following command:

1. %systemroot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis -ir
2. After completing registration of .NET Framework 2.0 on MOSS 2007 IIS go to IIS –> Web Service Extnesion –> Asp.net 2.0.x set “Allowed”

After completion of above 2 steps i was able to continued for MOSS 2007 installation on windows server 2003 x64 with SQL Server 2008 x64.

Cheer!!
