CF7 Installation Confusion

OK, so I have no clue how to install this thing. I have a "production" server someone installed CF7 Ent on, and I want to setup a dev server the same configuration. I don't understand J2EE/JRun... I chose the bottom choice of the three which said something about J2EE. I left the EAR/WAR default to whatever it was. But now I try to hit index.cfm in my webroot and nothing happens. I can hit index.htm. I don't see a CFIDE anywhere in the code. But in the installation log I see references to files being installed to C:\CFusionMX7\CFIDE\administrator\cftags\application_xml.cfm Status: SUCCESSFUL
But when I go there I don't even see a CFIDE dir!

i decided to uninstall and try again, but can't find any instruction about uninstalling CF7 on Adobe's website (using the search function). Can someone advise me what to look for on the production server to tell me how to configure the dev box? And how do I uninstall CF7 to start over? ColdFusion Search Service was running in the Services panel. I uninstalled that. Help! 🙂

For EAR/WAR installation instructions look here

Beofre you install it as EAR/WAR, you need to have JRun server up and running. Do you have that? Maybe the better choice for you would be to install as multi-server installtion (second option). That way you will install JRun and ColdFusion on top of that automatically, so you won't need to deploy EAR/WAR file.

Thanks for the help. Like I said, this is a dev server that I was hoping would be configured the same as the production server. Can you tell me what to look for on the production server to determine what configuration it is?
