Thanks Mike, that fixed it. :) I'd seen the other technote but it didn't look to me from the description of it not being able to write some files that my problem was being described, so I hadn't bothered to check the workaround at the bottom. When you suggested it I went ahead and tried it anyway, but it didn't help. Uninstalling SP1 did work -- oddly, I couldn't get the CF Admin to load in a browser until I'd reinstalled SP1. Frustrating, but at least it's set up now... now I'm dealing with a totally different problem, trying to set up an MSDE server on that machine and not having any luck... I was able to get it installed once but then couldn't connect to it with anything (MS SQL Enterprise Manager, CF, ODBC) except a 3rd party tool called MSDE Manager (from WhiteBear I think it was)... Good to know the thing was working, but completely unhelpful if I can't connect to it with CF... So I uninstalled it to try again and now I can't get it reinstalled... <sigh>... just another day in freaking nothing works as advertised land...
