I know this exact issue has been a problem since CF 6.x. I've always thought it was a permissions problem, but to be honest I've never used cfexecute. We're just not allowed to =\
Is your CF install running as local system? If it's running as a specific user, you could try making the user starting the service a local/domain admin and see quick if it runs then. Obviously if it does, CF is lacking a permission to run it correctly. If you browse livedocs you'll see your exact issue wayyyy back in 6.1 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/tags-p25.htm There are a couple workarounds those people tried with varying success. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:312958 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
