Problem installing cf11

When I am installing cf11 using IIS as the web server I cannot get the cf administrator to work. IIS tries to download the index.cfm rather than running it. This is only a problem with administrator as if I browse to my site, it will run the cfm, but obviously I have no datasources configured so it falls over

I have tried http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm and http://localhost/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm Both just ask if I want to open or save the index.cfm

Does work ok if I use the inbuilt web server and go through port 8500, but need to get this installed on our public facing servers using IIS

Anyone any ideas

    Thanks for your reply

    Think there was some conflict with iis on this server. One of my colleagues  got it  to work by basically deleting all the web sites on iis and then restoring one at a time

    Looks like we have a clean installation on our development server now. Just slightly worried what will happen when we start to upgrade our production servers

    Hi John,

    Could you please re-add the Coldfusion connectors by running Web server configuration tool (wsconfig.exe) located at ColdFusion11\cfusion\runtime\bin
