(It's down on the page, so I'll paste the section here....) 60086 On Windows 2003 systems with Service Pack 1 (SP1), the installer immediately exits in the "preparing to install" dialog before extracting files. This worked previously on Windows 2003 without SP1. A feature of Windows 2003 Service Pack 1 is "Data Execution Prevention". This security feature blocks the InstallAnywhere self-extractor for CF 6.1 and all JRun4 Updaters. (CF 7.0 is not affected). To fix this problem, do the following: 1. Click Start, right click My Computer, and select Properties. 2. On the Advanced tab, click the [Settings] button under the Performance section. 3. Select the Data Execution Prevention Tab in the Performance Options dialog. 4. Select the radio button for "Turn on DEP ... except those I select:" 5. Select "Add" and select the Coldfusion or JRun installer. (the entry shows up as "InstallAnywhere Self-Extractor" in the dialog) 6. Select "Apply" on the "performance options" and "OK" on the "System Properties" page 7. Now run the installer Here is Microsoft's description of this feature: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/memory/base/data_execution_prevention.as On 1/25/06, Jennifer Gavin-Wear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Coldfusion mx6.1 install on win 2003 standard. > > I see the installation wiz kick off and then it just disappears, can't see > any processes left running. > > Ideas anyone? > > Thanks, Jenny > > > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:230405 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
