I recently installed MX7 with no updaters onto a laptop running IIS and WinXP
SP2 and IIS 5.1

I can resolve an .htm and .html file in the root.

When I try to open a .cfm file, I am asked if I want to edit it or save it.

I used wsconfig and removed, then readded, IIS. I stopped and started the CF
services as suggested by the WSconfig tool.

No dice.

Anyone have any suggestions besides RTFM?

Unfortunately, the manual is the best place to start. Review the IIS
configuation page
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/
wwhelp.htm?context=ColdFusion_Documentation&file=00000049.htm#1117590 I would
open up the IIS MMC and confirm NONE of the mappings or ISAPI filters exist for
jrun.dll under both the top 'Web Sites' level properties and then again under
the default. If nothing is there run wsconfig again and try configuring just
for the default web site, since it is the only one that exists on XP. However
this time, open a DOS window. CD to \cfusionmx7\bin\connectors. Run
IIS_connector.bat to configure IIS. Note any errors that occur while it runs.

Review the ISAPI filter and extension mappings per the manual - its only a few
paragraphs. Is every thing there as expected - filter, extension mappings and
JRunScripts virtual directory? You can also review the
cfusionmx7\runtime\lib\wsconfig\wsconfig.log for errors.

Let us know the results. If things are not working, you may want to uninstall
cfmx7 completely. Then download the current trial from adobe downloads. If
you have a license - enter it during the installation and a licensed version of
7.02 will install. It makes sense to use the latest version for a new
installation. You get all the fixes from the previous 2 releases. Also, if
you have a license, you can open a free email installation incident with

All is well after a reinstall.

In the immortal words of Pogo, which I frequently am reminded of, ..."we have met the enemy...and he is us!"

Thanks again.
