64 bit operating systems

I have a windows service written in vb.net with .net framework 1.1 on the
development machine.
We have bought a new server which has windows server 2003 64 bit edition
installed.
The redistributable framework for version 1.1 will not install on 64 bit
operating systems.
My question is, will a service written using framework 1.1 work with
framework 2 which has a 64 bit version that can be installed on our server.
Do I have to install framework 2 on the development machine and recompile
the program before installing the service with framework 2.

Thanks in advance
Dave

Hi,

If your service is written with vb.net 2003 you need the dot net
framework 1.1 for the service to run. You can install the dot net framework
on a computer running a 64 bit os and everything will run fine as a 32 bit
application. If you want to use the framework 2.0 the application will need
to be upgraded to vb 2005.

Huh ???

This is not my experience

I run as a dev machine a Acer 1524 WLMI ( AMD 64 3400 + ) with windows
server 64 bit as operating system
and this runs every application that we develop with VS6 , VS.Net 2003
and VS.net 2005 32 and 64 bit

so what is the problem ???
