Depends on what version of windows you are using...if it is XP, then I would go with Apache, since IIS on XP is crippled to limit it to a few connections. If you are on Vista business premium or Vista Ultimate...or if you are on any of the windows server versions (2000 or 2003)...then you donât have those limitations and IIS would be the easiest to set up.
IIS is a webserver...BTW as is Apache. CF also comes with a built in web server, but I find it a bit difficult to set up...someone here may be able to help you. Otherwise, CF come with just about everything you need. The only other component you need is a database. If you are just using it for testing, then Access would be fine, but I would not recommend using that in a production environment. One thing you can do is set up XP...with IIS and CF on your desktop...a lot of people use that as a local development environment. The downside is that you are limited in the number of connections you can have to your machine, but if that is not a problem, then that would be your best route.

Do you have any recommendations for a temporary windows web server. It sounds like IIS is a web server tool but not a webserver, am i right on this? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2.
