Cannot install on 2008R2

I am getting the error "Fail to install RRAS Windows Server Role." I have made sure that RRAS was installed and I can bring up the RRAS control panel in the Administrative Tools but I can't get FirstSpot to install?

Am I missing something?

Windows 2008 Standard R2 x64

Sorry, FirstSpot v6 currently supports 32bit (x86) Windows only. You should install FirstSpot in Windows 2008 SP2.

As for 64 bit support, we will definitely support it later, but we don't have fixed schedule yet. Part of the reason is that FirstSpot is quite memory efficient, and it rarely needs more than 4G memory (which is one of main benefit of 64bit Windows).

We are evaluating a solution for one of our customers and FirstSpot looked really good! However, a big problem for us is the missing support for 64 bit OS.

Can you share an update about when there will be 64 bit support in the product?

NB: the evaluation we are doing involves > 100 hotspot locations.
