3. Installing Parallels For Mac Windows 7

I am using a mac, with Parallels to access Windows 7 in a virtual machine. On the Windows 7 side, I have tried to install IIS Express 8.0 but get the following error:

Information Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac is a 64-bit application. It means you will be able to install and run Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac only on 64-bit Intel Mac. Please ensure you have 64-bit Mac OS X before purchasing Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac. Question: Q: Will 64-Bit Windows OS run in Parallels dont know if this is the right place, but i'm looking at buying Windows Vista Home Basic 64-Bit to run on my Mac (although i expect to hardly use it).

The 32 bit-version of iis 8.0 express cannot be installed on a 64-bit edition of microsoft windows.

I know the 32-bit is part of the deal when installing iis 8.0 express. Is there anyway around this?

It sounds like you're running Windows 7 64 bit, so download and install the 64 bit version of IIS Express 8.0:

If you click download on that page you'll be given the the option to download the 64 bit edition:

Parallels For Mac Windows 7

Installing the 64 bit edition will install both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions:

From the 'read me':

Parallels For Mac Windows 7 32-bit Or 64-bit Microsoft

When you install IIS 8.0 Express on a 64-bit system, both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of IIS 8.0 Express will be installed respectively in the '%ProgramFiles(x86)%IIS Express' and '%ProgramFiles%IIS Express' folders.
