The migration wizard manages the installation of the ODBC services. There should be no need to change files like you're suggesting.
Before re-installing 6.1, try removing / re-installing the connectors to IIS. You can find bat files to handle this in C:\CFusionMX\bin\connectors. If that fails, I would re-run the 6.1 installer and see if that clears things up. Be sure to rename the updater backup folder from your original CFMX installation (C:\CFusionMX\cfmx_updater\cfmx_61) so that rerunning the installer doesn't overwrite those files. chris >-----Original Message----- >From: Michael Dinowitz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Tuesday, August 05, 2003 5:06 PM >To: CF-Talk >Subject: Re: CF 6.1 upgrade causes sitewide 500 error!!
