Nice. Glad to hear that worked! Thanks for reporting back and letting folks know.
I'm working on a brand-new implementation of the installer that will be really nice because I can create windows/linux/solaris/BSD/etc builds out of one development build and a bit (quite a bit in some cases) of scripting. It's going to be awesome and support GUI/Console/silent installation modes. Expect to see an GUI-capable OpenBD installer for Windows and Linux (and more platforms) soon! We want to make installation as easy as possible to help spread adoption and the good word about CFML!
