After install can't get to Admin page

To run ColdFusion in 64-bit mode on a 64-bit machine you need the Enterprise
edition.

It must also be a new install, not an update.

To run the Standard version on a 64-bit machine you need to enable 32-bit
applications on IIS.

If you run 32-bit ColdFusion on 64-bit Windows, you can use 32-bit IIS or
32-bit Apache web servers. You can also use 64-bit IIS, but you must run it
in 32-bit mode and configure it to connect only to 32-bit ColdFusion.

Run the following command from the %systemdrive%\Inetpub\AdminScripts
directory:

cscript.exe %SystemDrive%\Inetpub\wwwroot\adsutil.vbs set
W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32BitAppOnWin64 true

I was told by adobe email support that I am not supposed to get a Windows pop up login but rather a web page login so I am thinking that I have an IIS issue. Right now I am trying to get CF installed on a computer running Windows Server 2003 x64 member server and Exchange Server 2007 with OWA.

Just out of curiosity I tried to install on a clean Windows Server 2003 x64 member server with no additional applications other than Java 6u6(64). I configure a website called "secure" in CF. Enable anonymous access in IIS on the "secure" web site. When I turn off "Show friendly HTTP errors" I get a "%1 is not a valid Win32 application".

So I installed on my domain server which is the only x32 server in my org. Installed CF 8, configured for all web sites, installed Java 6u5. On that server I get a "you are not authorized to view this page" error.

Everybody I have talked to has said that CF is so simple to install, just install and go. Why am I having so many problems? Installed on 3 different servers and not one working install. Does anybody have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong? Can CF not install on a domain server or something like that?

Thanks in advance,
Jeff

So I uninstalled JRE 1.4 and installed JDK 1.6 and now I get the login pop up so I take that as good news. Now my problem is that the password I used during the install does not work. ARRRGHHH.

did you check the iis mmc?
