Hi, I have exhaused my research and ways of fixing this issue.

I have a Windows Server 2008 (64-bit).

I am able to install 64-bit CF10 on it and CF websites run just fine.

On the same machine, I have a ASP website that must be in run in 32-bit and within this website there are some ColdFusion pages. So I have to install CF10 32 bit. So I uninstalled CF10 64bit.

When installing CF10 32 bit, I always got error message:

Cannot configure IIS connector. Enable the required option ASP.NET, ISAPI Extensions and ISAPI Filter in IIS under Windows Features and try again.

I did lot of online research and found RELATED posts, but none of them worked for me. Basically, in my case I have the IIS following installed

ISAPI Extensions

ISAPI Filter

ASP.NET

CGI

but I alway got the above error message. Cannot think of other reasons.

Any help is really appreciated!!! I have been working on this thing for the past three working days.

Regards.

Not sure if this will help you or not but I had to install the following on IIS 7.5 for CF 9 to work.

.Net Extensibility

ASP.NET

ISAPI Extensions

ISAPI Filters

I noticed that you do not have .Net Extensibility listed.  Maybe that will help.

Miguel-F, thanks so much for your input. I actuall have .Net Extensibility installed. The reason I did not mention it is that I did not see it was relevant from online research. Basically I have everything under Application Devleopment installed:

ASP

ASP.net

.Net Extensibility

CGI

ISAPI Extensions

ISAPI Filters

Server-side Include

My IIS is 7.0

Cheers.

Got it resolved myself.

Here is how: I still installed the 64-bit CF. But when running CF's Web Server Configuration Tool, check "Configure 32-bit web server". Hope this helps others.

Cheers.
