Cameron, I just had this problem the other day and posted it to the list....and nobody responded!!!!
So here goes.... Somebody else had installed Win2K Advanced Server, so I don't know if they set permissions wrong or what, but the SYSTEM group didn't have any access to the C drive (actually the SYSTEM group didn't even exist), and the EVERYONE group had limited access. So I cranked up the access to the EVRYONE group and the CF MX install went just fine. Hope that helps ;-) Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
