Install Error in WS 2008 R2

Attempting to install CF10 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64bit SP1. I've attempted twice and received an error near the end of the installation process both times:

"ExecuteAppCmd.exe has stopped working."

After dismissing the error, the installation finishes but cfm templates are not being processed. Upon launch of the administrator on the server computer a 403 error is received:

"HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found

The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map."

Has anyone experienced this this issue, or have ideas about resolving?

AppCmd.exe is IIS command line tool.

No have not seen that before myself.

Perhaps run as administrator from Start > Adobe > CF10 > Web Server Configuration Tool. Does it look like CF10 is connected to IIS? Windows 2008 r2 so I guess IIS (web server role) is in use. EG:

Yes, the configured server is as pictured. I also tried adding different configs (specific IPs), but when trying to remove them the same error was thrown. There was a version of MX7 previously installed if that makes a difference. 7 of course wouldn't run without some major tweakkng, so it was removed and we're trying 10 instead. Could it have left something behind? I see nothing suspicious in the temp directory.

Here's the error:

Hi,

We apologize for the inconvenience caused. We would suggest removing the MX7 connectors first, before you even configure the CF10 connectors. Launch the configuration tool(in admin mode to avoid other permissions issues) and recreate the connectors.

If that doesn't work, please try the steps http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion10-iis-manual-connector-configuration.html. ColdFusion10 comes with a webserver configuration tool for connecting to external web servers. There can be occasions, however, when the tool doesn't work properly. If the tool doesn't work, you can configure the connector manually.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Anit Kumar
