Personally I don't think it's bad to "expect" an application to install easily - but I would never bet the farm on it. CF (all versions, including MX) DOES install easily for the VAST majority of people. But all applications are problems for some - for whatever reason. As an aside personally I consider it insanity NOT to try any new piece of potentially production software on a dev/research first. In all larger companies that I've been with this is a basic, fundamental requirement. Any contractor/consultant that used me as a lab rat wouldn't be continuing that contract. ;^) Forgetting installation issues any new software in this vein (application development) will have development compatibility issues: tests to be done to check out existing codebases, changed or updated language expectations, fixed bugs that no longer have to worked around, etc. Architectural software testing should never be initiated due to problem reports: it should be a standard, immutable requirement. 'course that's just my opinion.
