This happened to me, and when I rebooted the box I got the error message I should have gotten when it happened - basically the Data Execution Prevention in the OS was preventing the self-extractor from running. Go here: My Computer - Properties - Advanced - Performance Settings - Data Execution Prevention And add the CF installer to the exception list. Or reboot - and the dialog should ask if you want to do this. I could be wrong, but this is what it sounds like. thanks, Dave Ross http://www.coldspringframework.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:243575 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
