HoF is currently using both CF 5 and CFMX 6.1 as I'm moving over from one to the other. It's rather easy to do. Starting with a CF 5 machine, you install CFMX over it. When it asks if you want to do a standalone or upgrade, do standalone. This will cause CFMX to be accessible using the internal webserver on port 8500. Once its installed, upgrade to 6.1. After that, you simply change the webserver connector in the XML files to point to IIS rather than the internal webserver. You can keep the port 8500 or change it to something else. The exact specifics of the XML change has been discussed before and can be searched for unless someone posts it. As I don't use IIS, the information is not on the top of my head.
