RE: CF 5.0 Installation Problems...
Philip -- Just wanted to say a big "thank you!" for your July 27th tip I found in the archive about getting around a hang in the upgrade from 4.5 to 5.0. I was kind of nervous about trying the uninstall 4.5/install 5.0 route, so I tried stopping all nonessential services, and bingo, InstallShield finally was able to run the installation. -- Larry Afrin Med.

RE: CF 5.0 Installation Problems...
Hi Neil, This happened when we tried to upgrade as well. I'm not precisely sure what I did, but finally the installer did open up. I believe I rebooted, stopped all CF services, all IIS services, launched the installer, and then just waited about 5 minutes until it finally came up. The RAM usage of Ikernel.exe skyrocketed the final attempt, but then came crashing down, and then the installer finally launched. Hope this helps. Jay -Original Message- From: Neil H.

Let me explain: It does mention that CF 4.5 is installed and that it will be upgraded. That is fine. But then nothing. I watch Ikernel.exe, which is Install Shield, just consume memory. The only way to kill it is to end the task in task manager. Once I do that I receive an error about the RPC service is unavailable. The RPC service is running so I don't know what is happening. I manually stopped CF executive and application server in addition to site minder. This made no difference. If anyone has any ideas they would be appreciated.

The new upgrade is a great improvement - you don't actually need the product on the hard disk As Bruce suggested, remove all of CF4.5 and then install CF5 Sometimes I've found that certain services stop InstallShield running - try stopping the non-critical services as well Philip Arnold Director Certified ColdFusion Developer ASP Multimedia Limited T: +44 (0)20 8680 1133 "Websites for the real world" ** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
