I am have a really hard time installing CF 8 on Win 2003 SP2, I have changed permissions on the directories, turned off DEP, Installed on an old Win 2000 box and the same problem keeps poping up..
I am try to do the multiserver installation without linking to IIS and every time there is a single error in the install log about ANT not being able to find a single directory xxx\servers\cfusion\coldfusionwar\coldfusionear\webinf\something\lib I have changed permissions cleared temp directories and anything else I can see on the web but to no avail.. I have even pulled down a fresh copy of the Win 801 installer but no love.. Just an incomplete install without any of the CF directories or a wwwroot Short of covering myself in Chicken blood and dancing around a fire naked whilst offering votive offerings to IT gods I am out of ideas ! can anyone spare from an embarasing night in a paddock !
