Mike, I'm afraid you are in a vast minority here as 1000s of people have installed CF7 successfully. Placing the blame on MM may be a bit hasty. From you last post, the install seems to be working fine, but the web server connector is failing.
Being that there are a number of external issues you may introduce with how you setup IIS, I would focus on trying to reestablish that connection rather than keep reinstalling. Have you tried running wsconfig? Will CF parse templates through the built-in web server? -Adam On Wed, 23 Feb 2005 23:46:47 +1100, Mike Kear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > So that means I'd have to uninstall it (AGAIN!) and reinstall it, > using the internal web server option wouldn't it? > > Gawd it'll mean hours of testing and reconfiguring all my sites.
