CFMX 7 Install Problem

I just installed the CFMX 7.0 trial version but I think I installed it in the wrong directory.

I had an existing version running perfect but downloaded 7 to try it out.

I installed 7 in the same directory CFUSIONMX that I had my working copy.

Now nothing works

I cant get my pages to run and 127.0.0.1:8500 produces an error.

AND I cant uninstall or remove using control panel.

I'd like to try it out.

Is there anyway to configure the trial version or remove it so I can get back to where I was.

Installing CFMX7 over CFMX6 will certainly have killed your cfmx6 installation. I would uninstall and delete the directory. Reinstall cfmx6.x as it was before. If necessary there is a technote on the support site that tells you how to manually uninstall deleting directories and updating your registry.

If you choose the defaults when you install CFMX7, it will co-exist with cfmx6.x. CFMX6 installs by default to c:\cfusionmx and cfmx7 installs to c:\cfusionmx7. Also, cfmx7 will increment the ports it uses to allow it to run with cfmx6.

Before you delete/uninstall confirm that you do not have a cfusionmx7 directory. If it is there, perhaps you just clobbered your connection to the webserver and CFIDE. You should install cfmx7 to use its internal webserver so it can co-exist with cfmx6
