EV 2007 ver 7.5 SP3 and EV Reporting Configuration

Lafies and Gents,

I'm trying to configure EV Reporting on a Test SQL 2005 Server.  I'm following the instructions on pages 132 et seq. in the Install and Configuring manual.
All went well until step 6 on page 133. I've had several attempts, tried old favourites such as rebooting,
I've checked that the IIS features are configured , and asked a SQL DBA to verify the steps I'd taken, but we still cannot see the solution.
The error I'm encountering is:

Exception : System.InvalidOperationException: Client found response content type of 'text/html', but expected 'text/xml'.
The request failed with the error message:
--
<html><head><title>Error</title></head><body>%1 is not a valid Win32 application.
</body></html>
--.

I guess to the trained eye, the solution is glaringly obvious, but I can't identify it !

I'd appreciate your comments and guidance, here is an extract from the EVDeployReports Log, with the above error in context:

On the advice of one of our SQL DBA's we reinstalled .net framework 1.1. The reasons being that there are 32-bit and 64-bit versions. We've tried the 32-bit version on our 64-bit server, as we were under the impresssion that to do so would allow all of the EV reports to be available, whereas with the 64-bit version, at least three important reports would not be available.
With both versions of .net framework 1.1, we encountered the same error as already reported above.
We can get a clean result from Deployment scanner and we get a clean result from the Installation of EV Reporting software. The first hurdle that we cannot negotiate is with the configuration stage.
We enter the reporting users identity and password, we ensure the correct language and so on. We target the required server, trying either name or TCP/IP address and get the same result: the config aborts, with the same error message listed in the deploy log.:

System.InvalidOperationException: Client found response content type of 'text/html', but expected 'text/xml'.
The request failed with the error message:
--
<html><head><title>Error</title></head><body>%1 is not a valid Win32 application.
</body></html>
--.
I  guess there is something subtle that I've misunderstood or simply haven't seen.
Your guidance would be appreciated.

thanks for your time.
