ColdFusion 2023 install NOT Built-In web server

Okay I kinda feel like I am going crazy. I installed CF23 on my Mac apparently using the Built-In web server. The customer's site I am working on is kinda funky and they use a URL rewrite to hid the file names and query string params ... soooo I abandoned that install and I loaded IIS on a borrowed laptop and when I install ColdFusion 2023 I don't see where I get the choice to NOT use the built in web server. I want to hook into IIS so I can use the rewrite things ... is there some configuration thing I messed up that didn't allow me to install without the Built-In server? Is it because I installed the Developer's versions?  I feel like I am going mental here.

    @Joe Simes The option to configure the connector with the IIS during the installation is not available with the latest versions of ColdFusion. You must install the ColdFusion using the built-in web server and run the wsconfig.exe(Located at \ColdFusion2023\cfusion\runtime\bin) to create the connectors with the IIS post installation.

      Thank you Vikram I did not know that ... I kept looking for the config wizard to come up! 🙂 Does that mean I need to go into the XML and comment out the built-in web server once I run wsconfig? Or can I leave the built-in one in place to use the CF Administrator?

      @Joe Simes  We have blocked access to the ColdFusion administrator page via the external Webserver(port:80\443). You will have to use the built-in port(8500) to access the administrator page.
