Anyone had this problem. I have been running CF 6.0 on an NT server with no problem. We just got a new server running Windows 2003 server and I had read that I needed to upgrade to 6.1 in order to run CF on the 2003 server. I downloaded the freee 6.1 upgrade but when I try to install it immediately fails. Any ideas of what is happening?

Besdies firewall, you also need to check DEP (Data Execution Prevention) module which is known to block installers and other files that it does not recognize. In order to disable (at least temporarily) please follow step 2 in this technote http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=228c3aaa

The first thing the check when there are problems with Win 2003 is the
built in fire wall. It Locks Down EVERYTHING!!!, every port, every
process. One almost always have to modify the permissions in the fire
wall to get CF to work correctly.
