If you're on Windows: it sounds like you have some registry work to do. If you've never removed a stubborn application via the registry, I suggest you find someone to help you with it. If you want to try and you either have the ability to set a system restore and or can save and import a registry, I would go through the registry and find all references to cold fusion and delete them. You'll have to search Edit--> find -> check all . Keep hitting F3 until no more references to coldfusion can be found. Restart your computer and pray. If all went well you should be fine.
Also do as the other person suggested and see if there is any services related to ColdFusion running. If you are on a O/S like Linux, OS/X or Any of the Windows flavors that don't have system restore , you can see if there is an app available that will allow you to roll-back your system prior to digging Coldfusion out. -----Original Message----- From: Scott Hoff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 06, 2006 3:25 PM To: CF-Server Subject: I can't uninstall coldfusion 7 I can't install my coldfusion 7 because my computer thinks that there is currently a version installed. For some reason, I accidentally had one version installed on my external hard drive. I removed those files and all of the suggested files by macro media have be eliminated from my hard drive and I went ahead and installed my flex 2, thinking that it might have something to do with it. I've been stuck for about 2 hours and don't know what to do. It will let me install the "trial version" or the "developer edition" however they never show up in my add/remove program tool on control panel, nor do they allow me to find them in my start menu. I have deleted all of the files from the wwwroot folder, rebooted my computer, and deleted the coldfusion folder off of C. I have also deleted all of my temp files.
