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...
I ran into the same issue. What I did was remove my old version (all your sites are still there as well as DSN's), and then ran the install. IF you are using an Upgrade version, be sure to have the original CD Key handy because you will be asked. - Original Message - From: Neil H. [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 27, 2001 10:06 AM Subject: CF 5.0 Installation Problems... When attempting to install CF 5.0 nothing happens! 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.

IF you are using an Upgrade version, be sure to have the original CD Key handy because you will be asked. 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.

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.
