This is the same with me. There are a lot of devs out there with the capabilities to do this, sure. But a surprising number could not, would not be able to understand the install instructions, and would not have the nous to work out what to do when they get stuck. A very high number of CF devs I have encountered don't know where there log files are, where the mail spool dirs are, really fundamental stuff like that. They know CFML, and that's it. How they come to be this way,I really don't understand, but this is the way they are. As for more desktop-software-oriented people? You're having a laugh to suggest they could install something in a coherent fashion (other than by accident). -- Adam ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:354197 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
