I don't understand what the problem is.
You should just be able to follow the on screen instructions and away
you go. Obviously, you need to go through performance tuning and
security lock down (particularly for a production server) after this,
but it should just install.
It used to be the case with CFMX (back when it was first released and in
the Beta days) that it was best to install CFMX as standalone and then
attach it to IIS afterwards. CFMX 6.1 installer is much nicer these
days and quite happily installs and attaches to IIS without messing on.
