Can't get IIS Express 8 beta to run website as 64-bit process

Question

on x64 Windows 7 I am trying to get hello world MVC 3 website running as 64-bit process (so Environment.Is64BitProcess returns true on a page) using IIS Express 8 latest bet

Answer 1

It seems that creating EXE that does nothing else but start 64-bit IIS and putting it in place of 32-bit iisexpress.exe does the job.

This is C# code I used to create the EXE:

using System.Diagnostics;

namespace IISExpress64
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main( string[] args )
        {
            Process.Start( @"C:\Program Files\IIS Express\iisexpress.exe", string.Join( " ", args ) );
        }
    }
}
