I manage a number of CF5 sites and maintain the scripts on may local machine which needed to be upgraded to Vista. After a lot of messing about I surprised myself and finally got this going. I've no idea what is or isn't necessary in the following description of what I did but it DOES work.
In the Turn Windows Features on or off select the World Wide Web Services and manually also turn on CGI, ISAPI Extensions and ISAPI Filters. Start the IIS Manager and select the ROOT (server) and ensure you're in feature view. Select the Handler Mappings. You should see CGI and ISAPI there as disabled. Select ISAPI and select Edit Handler Permissions. Check the Execute option and press OK. ISAPI and CGI should now appear as enabled. Still in Handler Mappings add a script map. Path should be *.cfm, enter the path and filename (iscf.dll) DIRECTLY into the field (DO NOT use the file dialog by pressing the elipses button) and call it ColdFusion. You should get a dialog asking if you want enable the ISAPI extension - say yes. Exit the Handler Mappings. Go into the ISAPI and CGI restrictions and verify iscf.dll is there and enabled. You can edit it and give it a name if needed. Make sure the CF server service is running and all should go - did for me. The strange thing is if you select iscf.dll as the executable by using the ... button IIS7 gives an error about the ISCF.dll. I stumbled on this little bug by trying all the dlls in the bin directory and finding it liked the ns35cf.dll. The dll failed of course but I then overkeyed the ns35 with is and it burst into life. If MS clean up this bug in the future I suggest you use ns35cf.dll and change it manually to iscf.dll in the applicationHost.config file. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion MX7 and Flex 2 Build sales & marketing dashboard RIAâs for your business.
