Question

getting the error "ASP.NET Window's feature is not installed"

I'm running ColdFusion 9 on IIS 7 with Windows Server 2008.  I've set up ColdFusion IIS sites before and used the web server configuration tool to get them to work.  I've created a new site in IIS and then went to the web server configuration tool.  I get a warning and then an error.  The warning I receive when I run the tool is "IIS 6 Management Compatibility is turned on.  Click Yes to continue."  When I hit "Yes" I receive the error "ASP.NET Window's feature is not installed.  They are required to configure IIS7 connector."  Is there a way I can fix this error?  If not, can I configure the site in IIS so that I don't require the use of this tool at all?

    Are you actually running ColdFusion 9.0.1 perchance, I.E. ColdFusion 9 with the Updater applied?

    ColdFusion 9.0.1 no longer needs the IIS 6 Management Compatibility functionality to connect to an IIS 7 web server (and as you see, causes an error if it is there).

    You need to use the Windows Add|Remove Windows Components tool to remove the IIS 6 Management Compatibility from your IIS 7 installation.

    Thanks for your reply.  After I remove the IIS6 compatibility, am I still reliant on the ColdFusion Server Administration tool in order to run ColdFusion sites?

    You will still need the CF Administrator (which is just a web application) to manage the CF server. You will need the Web Server Configuration Tool (wsconfig.jar) to manage connections between CF and IIS.
