On the remote chance someone else is considering running WAA on Win Server 
2003 x64, here are the critical setup.  IIS version 6.0

1) c:\windows\sysWOW64\inetsrv\waa1gate.cfg

2) IIS->Add new Web Service Extension.  Give the service extension a 
familiar name, browse to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin\waa1gate.isa, and check 
the enabled box.  (This is the same setup as the one for Win Server 2003 
x32, but I repeat it in case this is not known to you.)

3) at the cmd prompt-> "cscript 
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbs SET 
W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1"
This will let the 32bit DLL run on the 64bit OS.

Amazingly, it will now run, and run very fast indeed.

Hi Bruce;
How were you able to install WAA on a 64 bit machine?
I'm using WinXP64 and will not run the 16 bit SETUP installer.
Thanks

If I understand your question correctly, my answer is I did not "install" 
it.  I simply copied files into the appropriate directories and set the 
necessary environment variables.  This is the structure I use:
C:\alaska\bin
    STARTWAA1.BAT
    WAA1SRV.EXE
    WAA1SRV.CFG

C:\alaska\package_dlls
    my various creations for my clients

C:\alaska\lib
    XBase++ dll's
    WAA1USER.LIB
    WAA1WAP.LIB
    WAA1USER.DLL

C:\inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin
    WAA1GATE.ISA

C:\windows\syswow64\inetsrv
    WAA1GATE.CFG

Thanks, Bruce

Did you have to register any of the DLLs?
