+Summary of pieces related to ISS. I have attempted to boil it down to the correspondence between the two and the places to look when interested in checking the settings. 
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 
+When working with Windows' IIS, Shibboleth requires the use of an IIS ISAPI Filter. The filter is provided by way of DLL in the shibboleth-sp installation folder. A 32 and 64 bit version are provided in the Shibboleth SP distribution.
+
+32 bit example path to ISAPI Filter: 
+C:\opt\shibboleth-sp\lib\shibboleth\isapi_shib.dll
+64 bit example path to ISAPI Filter:
+C:\opt\shibboleth-sp\lib64\shibboleth\isapi_shib.dll
+
+The following two screen shots depict how to get to the IIS 7 configuration screen for ISAPI filters.
+1. Select the main server configuration.
+2. Choose the ISAPI Filters from the IIS section.
+3. The second image shows the configuration to support only the 64bit version of shibboleth's ISAPI Filter. 
+
+...
+To add the 32 bit version of shibboleth, you can right click and choose the Add option. You will provide a name and the path to the 32 bit version of Shibboleth's isapi_shib.dll file.
+
+The version that an ASPX or similar IIS application will need, depends on how the application pool for the specific application is configured. To inspect the application pool of interest.
+1. Select the Application Pools list in the left hand menu.
+2. Right click the application pool of interest.
+3. Select the Advanced Settings menu item.
+...
+4. Review the setting labeled "Enable 32-Bit Applications"
+When set to False, this implies a 64 bit application.
+When set to True, the implies a 32 bit application. 
+The corresponding version of the Shibboleth isapi_shib.dll file must be available in the server to successfully have the application work as expected.
