64-bit XML for Analysis Provider?

[Harlow]

I tried installing XMLA on Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition and realized that
msxisapi.dll is a 32-bit dll so it can not be loaded by a 64-bit IIS worker
process.

Does anyone know if there is an x64 version of XMLA?

The first native x64 application will be Yukon (SQL Server 2005).
The XMLA SDK will remain a 32-bit application.

Thanks for the info. By the way, I tried enabling 32-bit processes on 64-bit
IIS using the following command:

"C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts>cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set
W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32BitAppOnWin64 1"

...but XMLA still did not work. When tring to access XMLA at
http://<servername>/xmla/msxisapi.dll I get a "Service Unavailable" message
and the AppPool fails with the following error in the event log:

"ISAPI Filter
'C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50215\aspnet_filter.dll' could not
be loaded due to a configuration problem. The current configuration only
supports loading images built for a x86 processor architecture. The data
field contains the error number. To learn more about this issue, including
how to troubleshooting this kind of processor architecture mismatch error,
see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=29349."

This may be a separate issue, but I guess I will just run XMLA on a separate
32-bit server for now.

How will 64-bit Analysis Services 2005 be accessed over the web? Will it
require a seperate 32-bit XMLA server, or will it include a native 64-bit
solution? Will it require IIS or will it support HTTP endpoints or something
similar?
