Problems Installing ColdFusion 9 (64 bit) on Windows 7 and IIS 7.5

[Harold_Maude]

Problem:  Empty response for static Files including images, CSS and js files. The response code is 200 OK, but there is no actual response (it's empty).

The ColdFusion Administration web site works correctly except it's not displaying any images, css and js. Why it is serving up dynamic content and not static is a mystery.

Installed ColdFusion 9 (64 bit) Multiserver Option on Windows 7 running IIS 7.5.

I have verified that IIS 7.5 is correctly configured for Static Content for both the handler mappings and the modules.

The Configuration for IIS 7.5 install looks like this:

The ColdFusion web configuration tools shows that it is connected to all instances of IIS.

I have uninstalled ColdFusion9 and IIS 7.5, and reinstalled many times but get the same problem: Empty responses for Static Files.

Help is appreciated.

To Clarify the blurry picture, this is what the IIS 7.5 install options look like:

Web Mgmt Tools > II6 Mgmt Compatility > IIS Metabase  & II6 Compatability

WWW Services > Application Dev Features > .Net Extensibility and ASP.Net and CGI and ISAPI Extensions & ISAPI Filters

Common HTTP Features > Default Document and Directory Browsing and HTTP Errors and Static Content

Security > Request Filtering

If you're going through IIS, then ColdFusion shouldn't even be involved for static content.  This tells me that the problem is in how IIS is configured.

The most common cause of this problem is simply not having a virtual mapping in IIS pointing to your /CFIDE directory.
