Upgrading to CF2016, problem with wsconfig

I am attempting to upgrade from CF11 to CF2016.  I have been unable to configure IIS to work with 2016, I am getting "Error while instaconfiguring connector on IIS.  Make sure you have administrator privilages" [sic].  I have full admin privileges on my machine and am running wsconfig as administrator.  The CF11 version of wsconfig works just fine, unfortunately can't use that to configure my 2016 site.  I tried someone's suggestion of reverting to parent, but to no avail.  No idea where to go from here. 

For the short term, I am using the built-in development server, but would really like to move over to in my environment IIS since the production server is using IIS.  Any thoughts how I can move ahead?

Thanks,

Helen

    I didn't have any existing connector configurations...it never would make one.  But the instructions for making a manual connector was just what I needed.  I hadn't run across that doc when I was trying to figure this out.  Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction.  I've got it worked out and am moving forward.

    Thanks!

    As an aside, I don't think I've ever left the connector creation up to chance, especially when using Apache.
