Medisoft V.15 on Windows 2008 foundation 64bit

I just got a new server with Windows 2008 foundation 64bit to replace an old server. My office is running version 15. After installing Advanta x64, I continue to get following error message "The Advantage Dtabase Server Service failed to start. Error code 7136 was returned from the service." as clicking the start service button on Advantage Configuration Utility.
I also noticed that installation info tab has nothing showing at all.
I already have tried unstallation and reinstallation several time and seem to getting nowhere.

Is there issue running Medisoft on 64bit Windows server?
Or do I need to install anything else besides the Advantage Server on my new Windows 2008 server?

Install 32-bit Advantage v9.1 even if your Windows Server is 64-bit. This is a requirement of Medisoft.

Thank you for a quick reply.
I am still getting same message when installing Advanatge Server x86 as suggested.
My 2008 server has .Net Frameworks 3.5.1.

Could you suggest what else I can try?

This error indicates a serial number and replication code mismatch. If you are using an Advantage license that came with Medisoft, there should not be a replication code and Advantage replication is not supported. So, make sure replication code is left blank when installing Advantage.
