Re: Before you rush to tell me what to do ... (was: Quick note from the CF Team....) --- UPDATE ON MIKE'S ISSUE...
Ahhh, I see! Server purchasers do not as a custom spend a lot on video cards, however, there should have been a big error notice on the screen when that happens. I would be interested in the script or command line code to run the updated in "silent mode" and what configuration options I would have, so as not to lock up the server. I did not see that in the docs. In my case, the machine has an NVIDIA 64 video card, so screen resolution, colors would not be an issue. it is set at 1284x1024 and 32 million colors at present. In fact, if there is someone who is really competent on updater installs, I can grant them remote access, and then they can run it for me. (grin, and begging) I think it would really help my blood pressure as well as my attitude if I became a happy camper again! :-) == Stop spam on your domain, use our gateway!

What's happening is the updater is apparently installing ok, but afterwards it opens a blank browser page that remains blank. With those symptoms, I doubt it is InstallAnywhere crashing. Although I would be interested to see if the install works on port 8500. > The Updater installer would spin CPU at 100% or just exit, I believe. It exits at the point where the InstallAnywhere extractor splash screen should disappear and the first CF MX specific screen should be displayed. (I even ran into that one when installing BlueDragon.) Took me a while to figure that one out too :-( > 256 colors or higher is a known ZeroG "InstallAnywhere" requirement...there's an > open case at ZeroG.

The silent install works very nice (I actually prefer it, because it gives me a configuration file I can archive together with the rest of the server documentation).
