Hi
I have tried installing Cold fusion 8 Developer edition twice. On each occasion it was successfully installed to the point that I could access the administrator page. I followed all default option while installing on my local Windows machine.
However, when I try to access an index.cfm page (set up using IIS 5.1 and virtual dir), I keep receiving this error:
"Server Application Error
The server has encountered an error while loading an application during the
processing of your request. Please refer to the event log for more detail
information. Please contact the server administrator for assistance."
Checking the logs, this is what I get:
The description for Event ID ( 4 ) in Source ( ColdFusion 8 Application Server ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: coldfusion, ColdFusion 8 Application Server.
So far, I can see that I have followed all installation procedures correctly.
Do I need to re-install IIS or my OS to get this working?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Got it. Had to do a complete uninstall/reinstall.
