Hello,
I'm a beginner and I want to learn studio mx 2004.In trying to learn Macromedia MX for windows ,I've gone thru the installation process in the manual for installing Cold Fusion for the server side of things.My question is, I'm not sure if IIS is mnadatory in order to use cold fusion.Is it a case of using one or the other or is the IIS service required to run Cold Fusion? Also im using cold fusion5 is cold fusion mx = to cold fusion 6.1?

You could run coldfusion as an indepedant server which it would ask you when installing.
I usually use IIS with ColdFusion. It's not mandatory though.

ColdFusion MX is ColdFusion 6.1. 6.1 is probably better option to use than version 5 as alot of the tags and functions got updated so something in 5 might not work in 6 or 7.

Thanks for answering.Is ther any benefits to running both servers? I don't want to confuse myself with too many options.Essentially,I could learn Dreamweaver (my ultimate goal) by using either installation?
