Sorry I wasn't clear Charlie. I have CF10 now. I have never used or needed multi-instances, so I wasn't aware of the Enterprise Manager option. That seems much more elegant than having different install modes.It seems to me that creating new instances on CF10, then having each instance set to a specific named site or even port in IIS might be the way to go. I'll try that and keep you posted.
