ColdFusion 8 - Windows 2003 R2 w/ IIS6

Installed ColdFusion 8 several times on a Windows 2003 Server (Enterprise Edition r2) running IIS 6 and I'm unable to get the admin console to come up after the installation. The system was configured during the installation to work with "All" IIS web applications on the machine. I have granted "full control" to the cf_root/runtime/lib/wsconfig directory to local users IIS_WPG & IUSR_xxxxxx and I’m still getting the following error:
HTTP Error 401.3 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to an ACL set on the requested resource.
The log file after the installation indicated no errors. Is there anything else I can try to resolve this opportunity? I installed the development edition of ColdFusion 8 and I had not issues whatsoever on a Windows XP machine, SP2. Please help.... I have three servers to get up and running soon....

by default the admin console would be in inetpub\wwwroot\cfide\administrator - did you correct the permission there?

Incidentally on a clean install on Windows I've never seen any permissions issue when trying to load the administrator assuming a default configuration of CF.

You're not installing it on a 64 bit server are you by any chance?
