Question

Cannot install CF10 as Developer edition on Win 7 Ultimate; 404.3

As usual, every time I go to install a new Version of CF it never installs. 

This time, I have installed it, got .ASP net error out of the way.  And IIS7 seems to look exactly the same as on another development box. (Except that's running 9)

So I have the directory mapped properly, and can see it in CF. 

But I get ...

HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found

The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.

What I do notice is that in neither box do I see .cfm listed as a MIME type.

When installing CF I did tell it to install as non IIS as IIS was not correctly installed and cannot tell now if it using built in web server, or IIS7.

Went to uninstall and reinstall as IIS but it would only let me reinstall as JRUN as it detected CF already installed and I cannot figure out how to uninstall if I wanted to.

Probably a quick fix?

Thanks.

Sorry, fixed it by using this ...

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Admin/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbf363a5d-7ffc.html

Why does Adobe continue to NOT do this automatically?

So basically you're complaining that CF didn't run the IIS connector despite the fact you specifically told it not to when the installer asked you?  Then when you ran the connector, it all worked?  That pretty much sums your situation up (as described by you above, I mean), yes?

I don't really think you can blame CF here.

Did you read the word "blame" in my post?

Or "complain"?

Like most here, after we use CF for over a decade and then some (4.5?), we forget all about installs and how they work.

I would expect in the Admin panel for there to be a switch there to select between built in and IIS7?

And / or in the install wizard, automatically install .ASP stuff for you?  Had it, and I would not have selected built in.
