First step is install so they can do it with the disk or you can do it by FTP or PCANywhere. The cheapest and probably the best unless you have unlimited resources as far as memory and cpu is have them install terminal services on the IIS server. Tell them to create a FTP account somewhere on the drive. FTP the CF files up. I can send you a copy of the Terminal Services client for free. Then use terminal services to access the server and install like you normally would. That will start you I am creating you some screen shots and a copy of the terminal services client I will email that to you directly. Give me about 2 hours I have a meeting I have to go to in about 20 minutes.

This is a potential client who is buying a CF App and needs to install CF to run it. The client runs IIS 5 and win98... elsewhere on the intranet are Oracle, Access etc. I have never installed/administered IIS (tried once & got lost in all the pre & co-requsite fixes). So, I don't have a lot of experience with installing/administering either CF or IIS. However, I am not afraid to experiment or buy/read books manuals, etc. I do have trouble finding anything on MS sites... I don't know what to look for... If you could get me started in the right direction, I will greatly appreciate it. 1) What does the client have to do to give me access to the system(s) (win, IIS) so that I can do the CF install? 2) where do I go from there?
