I don't know if this will work, but here's what I'd try in your position. First, install the IIS 6 compatibility option within IIS 7. Then, follow these instructions for installing CF 5 on IIS 6: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/186/tn_18689.html > If that's not a viable option, I see my alternatives as follows: > > * Convince the client to update their particular CF version. You should be doing this in any case. CF 5 is old, no longer supported, and lots of modern code simply won't run on it.
