The Microsoft Indexing Service component "IXSSO" is not supported in 32-bit process on a 64-bit Server


View products that this article applies to.

Summary

The IXSSO Indexing Service component cannot be used in a 32-bit process running on a 64-bit operating system.


Attempting to use the IXSSO component in a 32-bit process running on a 64-bit operating system, including trying to copy the IXSSO files and registry keys from a 32-bit installation of Windows to a 64-bit machine, is not recommended and is not supported by Microsoft.  


If you have an existing application running in 32-bit process on 64-bit operating system that uses the IXSSO component, it is recommended to take one of the following actions:

1. Change the application to run in a 64-bit process.
2. Migrate the application so it does not use the legacy Indexing Service. 
NOTE: Search Server 2010 Express may an option to be used to replace the legacy Index Service search functions. For more information on how to evaluate Search Server 2010 to see if it can be used to replace your current functionality, please see the following link:

3. Use a separate 64-bit process specifically for the IXSSO component, and have that process communicate to the 32-bit application.
