Same thing happened to me on my second install, no option for IIS. So I installed the standalone.
Then to transfer the settings you need to run this script: cf_root\runtime\jre\bin\java -cp cf_root\runtime\lib -jar cf_root\runtime\lib\wsconfig.jar -ws IIS -site "0" -filter-prefix-only -map cfm,.cfc,.cfml,.jsp -v NOTE: this is from technote (http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/releasenotes/mx/releasenotes_m x.html) and the example in the printed install guide is wrong. You should read the entire tech note. Pay attention to the mention the JrunScript Virtual Directories. Next, double check what account you are running CF under. If your previous version was configured to use a special account, you will need to stop the cfserver services (all 3) and change the account to the one you were using before. Also ensure that any directories that CF needs access to have the correct permissions. I've also found that on a number of occasions settings were not taking effect until after multiple reboots. All kinds of weird things were happening. Especially with the administrator. But it looks like for most things there are technotes, search mm...
