Thanks to CFMGigolo.com. Well, I was better off searching for InstallNoWhere. If you face same problems try to use WinRar to extract the coldfusion install file, if the file is corrupt you'll get a CRC error. In that case you'll have to take the pain again of downloading the installer again, but, atleast you won't need to bang your head against the wall, and won't waste your time changing temp folders' settings or specifying multiple locations.<br />IMHO, MM shoud better package the two folders as .rar, so the prospective clients are not lost just because the company makes one bad choice of packaging with an InstallNoWhere package.<br />PS: I really feel MM should have atleast gone through the ZeroG forums befaore making its choice of the installer. One more thing was there was no issue raised in this regard by MM on ZeroG support group inspite of receiving so many complaints. ruchit 0 0 2005-08-12T08:11:02 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00000058.htm#38573 I am also facing the same problem (installer goes till 99% and asks me to chose another location) for last 3-4 days, trying evrything, changing the temp variables, downloading the installer 3 times even though everytime it shows the exact no. of bytes as listed on the download page. I am using win 2k3, with around 5GB of free HD space and 1GB RAM. I have also tried running the extracted installer file, it installs the CFMX files with errors, and in the .details file, the first error points to some .zip file that could not be extracted. I just wanted to try out CFMX for its flash forms and flash reports but looks like I'll have to do it using the hard way of ASP.NET+XML+FLASH or if you guys can help me out within the next 24 hrs.<br />Thanks in advance! <br />PS: It would be great, if someone can enlighten me on why after making such a wonderful product MM continues to use such a buggy installer. Probably, adobe would do something better. ruchit 0 0 2005-08-11T00:05:50 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00000058.htm#37353 The tech note "Problems downloading and installing ColdFusion MX 7" is at:<br />http://www.macromedia.com/go/f8582407 ASandstrom 0 1 2005-07-13T11:40:00 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00000058.htm#33917 I'm sorry to say that I don't have an obvious answer. Have you tried looking in the JRun log files (they're under the runtime directory)? Also, next time you reapply the connector, specify verbose logging, which might give you an idea of the errors that the connector is encountering on IIS restart.<br><br>In general, you will get a better and quicker answer by posting questions like this to the online forums: http://webforums.macromedia.com/coldfusion or click the Forums link on any CFMX 7 LiveDocs page. Also, if you used a real e-mail address I could communicate off-LiveDocs. jrunrandy 1 0 2005-05-24T10:49:09 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00000058.htm#33725 when ever i restart my 2003 server IIS doesnt seem to serve coldfusion pages. i get the "no connector configured error". i then remove the existing connector and reapply it and it works again until next restart - any ideas why? John2 0 0 2005-05-20T03:27:03 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00000058.htm#33406 I had the installation throwing up a "Please choose another location" error message. In the end, disabling DEP (Data Execution Prevention) worked.<br /><br />1. Open Control Panel<br />2. Double Click System.<br />3. Click on the Advanced tab.<br />4. Click on the Data Execution Prevention tab.<br />5. Select the first option for DEP, "Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only".<br /><br />Looks like InstallAnywhere needs to modify their code so it's not behaving in a way that causes DEP to think it's malcious. 0 0 2005-05-15T07:52:15 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00000058.htm#33075 There is a Report Builder hot fix available at http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=235b6f61.<br /><br />Also, you can see all ColdFusion hot fixes at http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_17883. jrunrandy 0 0 2005-05-06T05:54:08 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00000058.htm#28131 Symptom: Incomplete directory structure<br />On Windows, the user installing ColdFusion MX 7 must have Administrative<br />privileges. Also, the following accounts should have Administrative<br />privileges:<br />IUSR_{Machine Name}<br />IWAM_{Machine Name}<br />NT AUTHORITY\Local Service<br />NT AUTHORITY\Network<br />NT AUTHORITY\Network Service<br />NT AUTHORITY\Service<br />NT AUTHORITY\System<br /><br />Although these accounts typically have Administrative privileges,<br />they may be locked down in highly secured environments.<br /><br />If you install ColdFusion MX 7 without the appropriate privileges, the<br />Install Wizard is unable to create the appropriate directory structure. jrunrandy 0 0 2005-02-18T05:17:55 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00000058.htm#28013 Regarding the install abort after extracting files (spaces on TMP variables and incomplete download - which happens with Windows too), is also a good idea (if nothing else works):<br /><br />1) Delete all existent files inside your TEMP folders (eg. "C:\WINNT\TEMP"), inclunding your profile temp foder (eg. "Document and Settings\alex\Local Settings\Temp")<br />2) Download "coldfusion-70-win.exe" again and save it in a folder that also does NOT contains spaces (CF installer will use this folder to extract files too) such as (C:\temp);<br />3) Perform a Windows DiskClean (yes I'm very obstinate) on C: (or whatever you're installing CF7);<br />4) Reboot your computer;<br />5) Use the "coldfusion-70-win.exe" file you've saved on the folder without spaces.<br /><br />Good Luck!<br />(I know it sounds weird, but it worked with me and many other folks - original trick from http://www.cfgigolo.com/archives/2004/10/problemas_de_in_1.html) alexhubner 0 0 2005-02-16T20:00:06
