Webmediaportal never loads on iis 7.5 (1 Viewer)

[onetoomany]

I "upgraded" my server from SBS 2008 to SBS 2011 a few weeks ago (which is based on 2008 R2 and uses IIS7.5).

The website and MPextended are installed as per the wiki - and had previously worked fine on SBS2008 (IIS 7)
Now, Webmediaportal doesn't load. I get the loading swirl going round in circles, blank webpage and no errors ever produced.
I've tried .net 4.6, MVC 3

I've tried different versions of MPextended and webmediaportal - currently got 6.0Beta installed.

Any ideas as to how to fix - I've tried nearly everything I can think of for the last two weeks.

Regards,

Richard

You shouldn't expect to get support here. Sorry to tell you that this plugin is pretty much dead.
As far as I know, more people had more luck with 0.54.
If you're on MP2 you might have more chances, at least there is some kind of support. For MP1 it's done. Nobody works on it anymore.

Problem solved (eventually).

As I was running on SBS2011, I had WSUS running. The above blog suggested an issue with a WSUS module trying to load.

Adding preCondition="bitness64" to the following line of applicationhost.config solved the issue:
<scheme name="xpress" doStaticCompression="false" doDynamicCompression="true" dll="C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\suscomp.dll" staticCompressionLevel="10" dynamicCompressionLevel="0" preCondition="bitness64" />
