I think that you need to navigate to your {jrunhome}\lib directory (where the
java.exe file resides) in order to run the command. The reason you get that is
becuase the directory you are currently in does not contain the java.exe, so
that's why you get the error.

I too had a problem with this installation, but my error was "the wsconfig.jar
file is corrupt or incorrect version" or something along those lines.

Adobe's instructions are rarely correct, you have to be a mind reader or know
the product inside out to decyfer them, so I don't blame you for finding an
issue with the instructions.

Anyway, I would try and run the command like this:

drive:\{cfmx_root}\runtime\jre\bin\java -Dtrace.ci=1 -jar wsconfig.jar
-upgrade -v

FROM the directory that the wsconfig.jar file is in. So if your wsconfig.jar
is in the directory {cfmx_root}\runtime\lib, use cmd prompt to navigate to that
directory and then run the above command line.

Be sure to back up your existing wsconfig.jar file BEFORE doing anything else.

One other quick thing that might be helpful is that you can add the java.exe
file to your "path" Environment variable so no matter what directory you are in
it will "know" where the java.exe file is and you can launch commands from
wherever in your system tree. To do that you would right click on "My Computer"
select "Properties" then the "Advanced" tab. Find the System Variable called
"Path" and append the full path of the java.exe file like
drive:\{cfmx_root}\runtime\jre\bin\java.exe.

Ah yes, you need to unzip the jar file, rename it to wsconfig.jar and then copy it to your \runtime\lib to replace the existing one (having backed it up as you say).

You scratch my back.... :-)

More puzzlement: the technote says the Product Version of the new
jrun_iis6_wildcard.dll should be 4,0,6,10840, but on both servers I have
patched the version is 4,0,5,108409 The file is dated December 11th 2006 so
it's definitely been updated.
