running iis7.5 on 32-bit windows 2008 (not r2)

Does anyone know if it's possible to run IIS 7.5 on Windows 2008. From what I understand Wi开发者_运维百科ndows Server 2008 R2 is an exclusively 64-bit OS. Can we upgrade IIS7 to IIS7.5 on Windows 2008 (not R2)

Unfortunately, you cannot. IIS has always been tied to an OS release and is only available on Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7.

Keep in mind that a 64-bit OS runs most 32-bit things just fine in WoW64 (Including IIS application pools), are you prohibited from running something on that server this way?

Is there anything in particular that you need? Some of the features of 2008 R2 are available for download at http://www.iis.net/download including the Admin Pack, WebDAV, FTP 7.5 and more.
