Sharepoint Server on x64

I have an x64 Web server where I have been deploying .NET 2.0 web sites including a community server site.  Unfortunately all of my sites are trashed at the moment because I have been trying to install a sharepoint portal server to support a client of mine.  The steps for deploying sharepoint server on an x64 machine are well documented (though a bit complex).

I really have the following questions for anyone who may know:

1. When I finish my installation (it's taking quite a long time now) how can I restore my .NET 2.0 sites.  Do I need to install the 32 bit version of .NET Frameworks.  I think that may be the case since IIS will now be running in 32 bit mode to support SharePoint Server
2. The SharePoint installer would not recognize the C:\Program Files (x86) directory and I was forced to use a different directory for the installation.  Is it required that all 32 bit apps be in the (x86) directory structure or is that just for convenience to highlight where you would normally find your 32 bit apps?

Thanks,

The only advice i can give you is that 64bit apps cant interact with 32bit apps

Thats is whyif you install 32bit flashplayer and ust a 64bit browser the flash player won't run.

Hope that helps
