Error 29001 During Installation: "Could not load file or assembly 'FBP Wrapper'"

We are continuing to have reports about an issue installing Vault Server 2011 primarily on Small Business Servers 2008.

Issue: During the installation of Autodesk Vault 2011 (Server)  you encounter this error which follows a rollback and the installation fails:

Error 29001. Vault management error: Could not load file or assembly 'FBPWrapper' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program within an incorrect format.

 

German error message:
Fehler 29001. Vault management error: Die Datei oder Assembly 'FBPWrapper' oder eine Abhängigkeit davon wurde nicht gefunden. Es wurde versucht, eine Datei mit einem falschen Format zu laden.

Resolution:

Please check the following setting in IIS.

1. Go to Start>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>IIS Manager
2. Select Application Pools
3. Right Click DefaultAppPool>Advanced Settings
4. Verify the setting “Enable 32-Bit Applications” to “True” 

 

5. Re-try the Vault2011 installation

 

If after changing this setting you receive a 503 error during the precheck, please try the follow steps:

1. Find the configuration files in SBS 2008: C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config

2. Change this line:

From:<add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" />

To:<add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" preCondition="bitness64" />

3. Restart IIS: in the command line execute: iisreset / restart

4. Run this command (On Start - Run): %windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /-[name='xpress']

***WARNING*** We have had reports of this command causing other SBS2008 services to stop working. If you execute this command please do knowing that it is at your own risk and that if it causes other services to stop working, it may be necessary to apply a pre-Vault restore point and install Vault on a dedicated machine. Please also refer to this blog posting "Non Dedicated versus Dedicated Vault Server (ADMS)"

5. Install ADMS 2011
