On Microsoft TechNet Configuring IIS to Run 32-bit Applications on 64-bit Windows (IIS 6.0):

To enable IIS to run 32-bit applications on 64-bit Windows:

1. Open a command prompt and navigate to the %systemdrive%\Inetpub\AdminScripts directory.

2. Type the following command:

   cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32BitAppOnWin64 "true"
   

3. Press ENTER.

Alternatively, via Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager:

1. Access Application Pools
2. Right click on "ASP.NET v4.0 Classic"
3. Select "Set Application Pool Defaults ..."
4. Under General change "Enable 32-Bit Applications" from "False" to "True"
5. Click OK

If you wish to run both 32-bit and 64-bit applications, there's various blogs to do it, such as Rakki Muthukumar's blog IIS7 - Running 32-bit and 64-bit ASP.NET versions at the same time on different worker processes.
