  * The installer will not remove the IIS virtual directories correctly if you specified a different virtual directory in IIS. For example, if you install with a virtual directory of "mapguide24" it will still remove the "mapguide" virtual directory on uninstall. 
  * IIS7.x: The installer does not properly configure the mapviewernet, dotnetviewersample and dotnetsamples directories as IIS applications if you enable such features in the installer. Workaround is to manually create these applications with IIS manager afterwards.
- * An asp.net security setting prevents selection XML from being set from the .net viewer (#1984). The current workaround is to add the following line to web.config for the mapviewernet directory under the {{{<system.web>}}} configuration section:

 {{{<httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" />}}}
  * PHP Viewer and Developer's Guide samples will not work if the PHP viewer feature is not enabled. Likewise for .net and Java. Nothing in the installer will prevent you from making such a choice.
  * For the IIS configuration or Apache configuration with a custom http port, you will have to update the WFS and WMS server name configuration properties via the MapGuide Site Administrator after installation if you intend to use such features. This is currently set to localhost:8008 for both.
+ * #1985: 32-bit IIS configuration does not work on 64-bit windows. To fix this, set the "Enable 32-bit applications" property to true on the IIS application pool that is created by the installer.
+ * We have used a non-standard binary build of Apache/PHP to produce this installer, as a result some PHP extensions and Apache modules may not be available.
