Frustrations Trying to Install CF 9 on Windows 7/IIS 7

I am trying to install CF 9 (as a Developer Install) on Windows 7 Pro/32-bit and am going crazy.

My box is running IIS7 and the CF install goes OK (I have it set to configure for all IIS sites). When I try to launch Administrator at the end of the install I get an Error 404 saying that index.cfm cannot be found (URL is http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm). The file is there, I can see it.

I've followed some posts on the Internet regarding installing ISAPI extensions and IIS6 Management. When I use the "Web Server Configuration Tool" I can configure the IIS Default Web Site without issue. Nevertheless, when I try to lauch CF Administrator after exiting the Configuration Utility I get the same error.

Are there any settings or pointers anyone can give as to how to get this working (I've already installed Adobe Flash Builder and ColdFusion Builder and I'd like to get this going).

Thanks in advance.

    If you haven't already done so, you might also want to install the CF 9.0.1 update, as it supports IIS7 without needing any of the IIS6 compatibility features.

    Yup, that did it.

    I actually had been made aware of the patch when I downloaded CF, but for some reason I thought it was difficult to install (I thought that you could only use the installer package if you could open Administrator). IAC I downloaded the appropriate patch file, ran it and Administrator ran. There was something in the install notes about reconfiguring the websites and removing the IIS6 Management feature but I'm not going to fool with anything because right now at least CF is running.

    Thanks.
