Hi Shaun

I've had a similar issue a couple of times, its worth checking that the
right application mappings are in place

Open up the properties for the website in IIS, Go to the "Home Directory"
tab and click  "Configuration".  Then in the "mappings" section check that
the .cfm/.cfml extensions etc are going to the correct dll (they could be
still looking in the CFMX7 folder).

Its worth a look

Subject: upgraded from 5 to MX, reverted back, now the user's browser
prompts to open .CFM files in Notepad?

The subject line summarizes my issue. I installed MX7.0 on a development
server temporarily to test some code that required that version in order to
function. It broke an older application so I needed to revert back.

I uninstalled MX7 and found that from that point onward, The preexisting 5.0
installation wouldn't work correctly -- an end user's web browser prompts
them to open the .CFM files using Notepad. 

I've tried "repairing" the CF5.0 installation, and also doing a complete
uninstall followed by an installation from scratch, but the behaviour is the
same.

Sound familiar to anyone? 

My assumption was that the connector between the web server (IIS 5.0 in a
Win2K server environment) was somehow modified by the CFMX installation, but
I'm not sure how to manually fix this. I've compared various IIS settings
(ISAPI filters, et al) between a working installation of CF5.0 on another
server and on the busted one, but don't see any obvious differences.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Best,
Shawn
