IIS 7 is quite a bit different than IIS 6, and honestly I don't remember where they're located offhand. But they're ISAPI extensions, so you should be able to find them by clicking on one of the icons labeled "ISAPI". > Then it wants virtual directories for each website and to verify that the > JRunScripts directory in each of the websites points to the correct > location and on and on.

As I mentioned before, I prefer the reverse proxy approach, which lets me install CF on just the internal server and doesn't rely on CF's own machinery. I've never set up distributed mode on IIS 7. I did it with earlier versions of IIS; the last time I did it I was probably working with IIS 5.
