Installing CF5 on Win2008 / IIS7 ... anyone experienced?

So I've got some old Coldfusion 5 applications that are being moved from one server to another. Unfortunately, the new server is windows 2008.  Of course the newer IIS is not recognized as a webservice in the setup process so you must manually config your webserver.  the controls in IIS7 are completely different than IIS6 but I used the following document as a guideline to try to get it to work: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/186/tn_18689.html.

Anyone have any suggestions or documentation on how to install CF5 on IIS7?  Any help would be great.

Thanks.

    Disclaimer: I am not a Windows 2008 user and I have not used ColdFusion 5 for several years.

    You might try setting up the "IIS 6.0 Management Compatibility" feature in IIS prior to installing CF.

    What error messages / problems do you encounter when installing / using CF5 on Windows 2008?
